It started with a role.

It captured my interest. I went to explore.

I liked what I saw.

The construct captivated. I let it flow.

The fantasy grew.

I was brazenly careless. If only I knew…

The feelings brew.

I missed the edge, stumbled and flew.

The landing was hard.

It crushed my bones and tore me apart.

I drew a bad card,

Wounding my fragile and lonesome heart.
