Without Regret

Failsafes, rooms without windows.
You crept through the cracks of my barriers,
Slithered like a python, hungry, patient.
Donning a guise of beauty, the charmed met the charmer,
And became her lover.

A harsh scold became a gentle caress,
And I was taken with you;
So taken that I overlooked the mask you wore,
The ravenousness that you sated by feasting
On my pretty words,
And the love I so willingly lent you.

I knew you would devour me,
Destroy me. Doom me to despondency.
But that did not stop me.
My head and my heart went to war for my safety,
But I became a martyr
In the bed of my destruction..

Without regret.
