A Shameful Entry
Prompt: A Dark Desire Of A Cold-Hearted Lover!
Dear diary, it's me, Charles again
It's May 15th, 1853
I know it's been so long since you've heard me sin
But something's happening to me
I've met a fire haired beauty
That's caused me to stray
She shot the life into me
On this very day
I'm writing this dark confession by candlelight
The horror of my transgressions
On this dark, lonely night
I write my bloody confessions
I have committed a terrible sin
And broke a solemn vow
The Lord knows where my heart has been
And even now
Please forgive me, sweet Elenore
My heart and soul was weak
It cuts me to my core
A trembling heart will speak
I must break this off at once with her
To save my Elenore
Emotions began to stir
As I headed towards the door
