Rest this night was stolen from me
For I saw things I wished never to see
The focus of my loyal affection, before priest vows submitted
In an instant gone, when, with another treacherous acts committed
I woke, sat erect, fists clenched, my heart ablaze
Anger, Jealousy, reality still a haze
In moments my mind cleared, and I knew what was true
Yet my heart full of malice knew not what to do
Tossing and turning, the night visions replayed in my mind
Again each scene assaulted with versions of every kind
As my heart continued to race
I could find no rest in that place
Out of bed, I languished
My soul feeling anguished
No matter what I could say, the truth of my mind supplanted
By the insecurity and grief, my heart disenchanted
The pain is real
My heart can feel
Yet a myth, a fabrication
Brought about this agitation
How do I settle myself now at days end?
My feelings I seem unable to mend
But sleep is coming again before I am righted
Chained to the doom of repetition I'm frighted
