Benefit of the doubt The boy’s blue eyes shone Tried so hard to be good Tall frame was troubled So easily misunderstood But something happened A long time ago That split his heart And darkened his soul He had to feel needed Wanted and secure To cover the emptiness And risk of wanting more He worked and toiled To fill the vacuum inside He created and invented Himself so many times A husband, a father A role model sublime To stop himself writing Outside the lines He then met a maiden That was feisty not fair With dark soulful eyes And wild titian hair She took his body Freed his primal desires He’d hidden with passion Amongst duty and lies She reflected his darkness Showed him the light Beyond the personas He’d created to fight The demons within him She coerced and they grew He cowed in conflict And neither of them knew He needed to retreat He needed a home marital love and comfort Not what now had grown Out of a impetuous love That no boundaries could hold They writhed in agony Until his heart blew cold She gave him no map As she was lost in her cave So he broke her heart And refused to stay He fought like a coward And played the martyr To mask the devil That dwelled hidden thereafter He found the boy and his blue eyes shone but something was missing now the maiden was gone A husband, a father A role model sublime To stop himself writing Outside the lines © Katypoetess 2013
