This ended up being about 3 million times more difficult than I ever imagined.  Very fun challenge.

Breathtaking beauty, you wither me so, Cruel intoxication, I can’t let go, Drunken delusions your indiff'rence stirs, Entices anguish and ignorant slurs; Follow my passion t’wards romantic nights, Glorious evenings of sinful delights, Heal painful shame with three words spoken true, Ignite our flame and say “I forgive you”; Joyous excursions remembered well still Kindle bright embers if only you will, Loosen what’s harbored insisting we drown, Mocking our marriage that’s turned upside down; Now is the moment right here is the place, Open your heart, dear, extinguish disgrace, Pride knows no answers it only brings pain, Quick now, my angel, trust pure-love again. 9/11/16 Submitted for: Alphabet Soup

Phillip, I think you did an excellent job. Surprised you didn't make a sonnet out of it. Either way still very impressive!
