A recorded reading of “A Heavenly Betrayal”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
A heavenly duty to do you once, what madness drove me to cross that front? The pleasure you gained as you begged for more, prostituting your soul for a God you adore. Unfit to live, now my soul is dirt, a sinner crowned, draped in your hurt. The king of the damned, a title I wear, for loving the unholy, for breathing despair. An ugly bitch you were, nothing but spite— but now your power returns tenfold in might. The gifts you received, the ones I bestowed, now weigh on my conscience, a debt that I’m owed. I compare you to demons, yet none come close, your hideous grin, a memory I host. The darkness you birthed now resides in me, a torment that lingers, refusing to flee. When I close my eyes, your shadow persists, a cruel reminder in the nights I resist. Forever condemned to relive your face, an eternal struggle I cannot erase. What was I thinking to make you my queen? The touch of your hands, now forever unclean. In the depths of regret, I drown every day, a sinner’s lament for the one who led me astray.
