# Punishment

So... I did a thing. I hope it wasn't a bad thing. I hate how most everything I write comes out really depressing. This is based on a dream I keep having, so... I don't know

I watch silently  
As I see your arms embrace him  
As your fingers trace the crevices of his skin  
Your eyes follow down his breathing like a map  
Landing down his chest to his heart  
Which pounds so strongly for you  
As mine once did, as it still does  
  
I feel envy   
As I see your lips press against his  
As I see you pull _him_ closer,  
tracing them down his neck  
  
His breathing increases,   
He clenches your shirt  
Whispers your name  
Igniting the flames in you of which were once mine  
  
I try to look away, to stop those tears breaking through the barrier  
Of my once blind eyes,  
Blind to what I once had  
Blind to what would've been  
But I cannot   
  
I am the silent listener  
Chained down to this sickening chair  
Forced to revel in the pain

My heart shatters  
As I see you run your hands up his shirt  
Pressing your hips to his  
  
I scream a silent cry  
As I watch you lay back slow  
Analyzing his body  
The one he is to give you   
Pulling you away from me  
  
I know in your mind  
You no longer think of me  
I know that in your heart  
You feel no love for me  
Nor any pain which had been caused by my doing  
  

  My soul is broken  
As I see you give him your love  
I am sickened as I see his face of pleasure  
I am ruined by my own doing  
  
And chained up to this chair I am to remain  
Beaten by my haunting dreams   
Of which you forget me  
  
Serving my time of Punishment  
  
Seeing you love another...
