murder to the living

Blistering emotions seek solace from raw heat
while I tremble in fear of what future days bring.
One phone call ended it all for love in my life,
the admission of an affair tormenting souls.

Feeling as if the coccoon has busted open,
I lie exposed, bare before the world's ready eye,
vulnerable to the greedy, innocence so torn.
His denial slaps me in the face each new day

but her words echo throughout the longest of nights.
Knowing he has touched another prohibits warmth
and the chill over this heart is frozen in place,
forgiveness is not an option I can offer;

his fool I don't wish to play for eternity.
This numbing silence buries me within myself
and I don't know if ever I will live again,
only that murder doesn't take killing someone.
