Burdened Versions

You were love’s surprise versed in romantic delight.
Your love secured me cuddled and rapport entwined
each time our hearts took time to flesh comfort align.
I felt our lives were meant to fast coupledom attach
in our own signature dressed, love expressed indicators.

Then, time witnessed and felt our adhesiveness contort
from the soul corrosion you brought and skewed forth 
to seal us in burdened versions of darkened emotions.
I live suspended between a confused sphere retreat
and a subconscious residence in Neverland’s release.

Great job with the words, Caycay. I know you have lots of past experience to draw on for this kind of writing! Good luck in this contest. I probably won't try.

CayCay, this is so sad--but so realistic! Many relationships become strained, or end! Janice
