Emotions distraught, misunderstood in ernst
By one who proclaimed sincerity
How dare she unlock on my door
Only to slam it repeatedly
My being in anguish
Did not want to believe
The depth she requested
Would be mocked so soon
After my willing release
Sly as a fox was she
Alluring my vulnerability
To give all withhold nothing
Love her completely
"More" she asked
"I want all of you and more"
Foolishly I responded
Realize her desire
Gladly offered all of me
With heart palpitating
Soul raw and bare
Relinquished that sacred me
Summoned by her irresistibility
As the days turned into weeks
Misperception created despair
A once sweet love
Turned sour by apprehension
Squelched the burning flame
Into smoldering embers
Love faltering
In the wake of deception
For the self I had lost
Prior vow broken
To not again allow
The fervor of my nakedness
How can I get back
That part she stole from me
Dejected by misrepresentation
Too weak to lick my wounds
I succumbed to my demise
The ground I was standing
Became as quicksand beneath my feet
Eager to swallow me whole
Drain the breath of life
Deplete all remaining passion
Destroyed by her fa�§ade
I recanted in vain
Seek out the solace of
My one saving grace
The numbness of solitude
