CALEB'S TURMOIL

Caleb's heart wrestled, with conflicting desires,
Luna's love, versus Shirley's burning fires.
He craved Luna's touch, her gentle soul,
Yet Shirley's grasp, his conscience did control.

Luna sensed, a darkness in Caleb's eyes,
A hidden truth, behind his loving guise.
She felt uneasy, as he drew near,
A voice within, warning her to fear.

Caleb, my best friend, my secret flame,
Saved me from bullies, earned my trust and claim.
She brushed off warnings, intuition's gentle voice,
Blindly dated him, into a treacherous choice.

A moonlit night, a secluded place,
Caleb's plan, to claim Luna's heart and space.
Shirley lurked, in shadows dark and cold,
As Caleb's lips, Luna's trust did unfold.

With wine and words, he wooed her heart,
Luna's guard dropped, as they never did part.
A spiked drink, Shirley's wicked hand,
Luna's world blurred, in a drunken stand.

Luna's Journey continues!...
