"wraith"

abhorrent…
loathsome are her deceitful smiles.

I detest myself for being enslaved,
easily enticed
by her chocolate-coated kindness…
by her empty promises.

captivated so easily,
she came to me like a whirlwind;
with a love so tempestuous…
passionate…
and yet so destructive.

she left…
and darkness embraced
my once gleeful life.

now I’m wondering…
until when will I find solace
from staring at these autumn leaves?
