Destruction

Destruction

Against a Boston backdrop

Visions of falling leaves

Clam chowder

Your voice speaking softly

Vibrant laughter escapes my lips

In a world of my anguish

You comforted me

I ran to you for solace

You sustained me

I felt so close to you

I shared my darkest moments

Then strangely I found my heart

It was full of love for you

Your wife, how could I?

Knowingly fall in love

With a man already spoken for

She must have meant the world to you

For once again I was surrounded

In a world of pain and abuse

My last barrier was broken

It has almost... Destroyed me
