Siren

Mike Berger, Ph.D.

He succumbed to the dark
seductress. She whispered of
pleasure paradise. Life was
an endless rut before. Now
it’s an trail of anguish.

Men are stupid he tells
himself. She was the love
of his life, but he push her
away. He was frightened
by the intimacy.

He reeks and hurts to the
marrow. Specter’s dance
wildly in his head. Gothic
figures stalk him.
The pain is worse than his
somnambulistic life.

Gone are the good things;
he didn’t miss until gone.
Fire burns hot inside
there is no turning back.

He hates the cravings and
anguishes as he stoops to puke.
He has succumbed a new
faceless lover, a bottle of booze.
