Adultery and Ivy

By SluG

The girl in the other room,
she knows by now that her gown is useless,
she sighs ans she turns the lights down low
and takes her veil off her crimson red hair.
Maybe he will come in and apologize, maybe she will
cry and let him go.

Sing and always sing,
dance and always dance,
to the temptation you can't resist.
Dance to the life of Adultery and Ivy.

Compassion and fury intertwine,
like Ivy choking Iris,
Iris looked to him with love,
but Ivy just choked her with his adulterous sin.
Iris sees him for the monster that he has become.

Drown and always drown,
die and always die,
to the feeling that it gives you,
Die to the life of Adultery and Ivy.

Her heart stops in the other room,
and she knows by now, as she turns the lights down low
and takes her veil off her crimson red hair,
that she is still here, with Ivy, the monster that she
married all those years ago.

    this holds the weight of sleepless nights spent crying in the absense of a lover...crushing and the vivid images that this projected were heart breaking ~kristy
