Adulteress
(Alcohol doesn’t make you do anything. But it will let you.)
You go to the drink for permission
Ask on behalf of desire
Ghosting guilt as an imposition
The exorcism imprisons the liar
Your cage is denial
You hide in the fire
Your prayers are defiled
Direction is dire
Addicted to intimate energy
The sin is committed
Not incidentally
The temptress presents
With intent and a smile
Extensive suspense
Intense senses compile
Everything conjugal exiled
For victims abused as amenities
Turn into complicit excuses
Worn as conducive accessories
To cover the ruse of a dubious union
Confusion being the fashionable
Impractical method of desperate absolution
From pains of spontaneous erotomania
Which no one has ever once
Heard you complaining of
Only the drained
Endorphin-stained brain
Attempts to remain
In such a strained state of love
Chain of events being extemporaneous
Interlude to breaking us
