Unfaithful

On spiked feet I danced
Incentive born into the fiery pit
The ghosts of the evening
Laughing in my face

The stars in the ceiling
Dripped pleasure into my eyes
As I snaked through the throngs
Towards the shadows

My wedding ring cut deep
So I threw it between the shifting feet
Obscured forever in the haze
Irreclaimable,
Lost in impurity

As his breath scorched my lips
Matrimony, disgraced left in haste
I kicked off my heels
Fusing mortality with sin

Daylight, showing all its true colours
Lashed great welts
Guilt ridden across my conscience

Soul stinging with remorse
My footfalls heavy upon the stairs
I shed the filthy skin of the night

Tracing faded kisses
With his lips so soft
So giving
To my dear husband
I announced my party days
Hence concluded
