For every action - a reaction

Sin of We Should the price of the adventure, Been blamed on naivety of soul? Was the sacrifice of morality, An expected casualty of goal?   My confidence was pure pretense The ruse your caution demanded Desire suffocated my reason My principles I abandoned.   My conceit denied consequence All remorse consumed in your flame Failure never contemplated Nor pain of resultant shame   You resisted my tentative reachings, Implied our wrong could never be right Presumed my persistence was fleeting Deluded yourself of emotional plight.   I wrestled your perceptions Demanded dismissal of resistance of us Overwhelmed your heart's barricades Hypocritically sought committment and trust.   I orchestrated the time we shared Disdained the hypocrisy of my heart Only visible within your embrace Shadow-kissed whenever apart.   A scarlet letter was destined Repercussions of choices dared I surrendered to my obsession Trusted my soul I could bare.   The sin of we I recognized Yet my actions I would not repent My decisions were without remorse I cherished each moment we spent   I was wayward in thought Ever more so in deeds I demanded you MINE Sought fulfillment of need.   My unrepentent moments of me Resulted in my need of us I  have persisted without remorse Designated you my escapism crush   To never have been Would have been greater pain Our gasp forever cherished Despite lives rearranged.   Our "us" not to be realized, I refused as my fate. I abandoned my known, Chose own destiny to create.   My eyes were always open, I battled reality disguised as pretend, Still I never once regreted... At least not until the end.
