Lost Within the Kingdom of Fools

He knew he was wrong,
but he cut her
wide open.

He wanted to get
inside her,
smell her,
feel her,
see her true self,
bare and fully
exposed.

No longer
hidden
behind makeup,
perfume,
or clothes.

Her ugly secrets,
unearthed
from her soft flesh.

Just what he wanted.

Or was it?

With his sensitive soul,
weakened heart,
judging eyes,
and unfiltered mouth,
he was
unprepared.

He didn't want to cut
and gouge
so deep,
but curiosity drove him
inside her.

The point of absolutely
no
return.

Now...

He is forever
sown within her flesh,
forever reaching out
for a false freedom
he once held
so dearly.

All is lost
for the king of fools.

He has only
himself to blame.
