| Dust to Dust |
| Ashes and Dust By Rich Reith She gazes into his deep blue eyes Filled with fear, and filled with lies. Unable to speak the honest truth Of why he stole his very youth. That concealed place buried deep inside Filled with passion, steeped in pride. That destroyed the good wife she wanted to be So that lustfulness could have its spree. She gazes into his deep blue eyes Not understanding the depth of her lies Praying this agony is merely a dream, And she'll awaken, stifling a scream. Praying he'd hold her, her fear dispel Pulling her back from the edge of hell. But peace cannot come when the one he trusts Took their love to Ashes and Dust. As he spent a life, love to refine She splayed himself at the feet of swine. Placing all her beauty, all her grace In the clench of Satan's deadly embrace. She drowned in lust as love disguised While her love waited home not knowing why. False honesty shown him, his only token With her every vow cruelly broken. ©Copyright September 2008 by Richard Reith. |
