Cause and Effect

Your calm betrayal forms rivers of crimson tears that stream down my cheeks. Your rabid fury cleaves trails of searing anguish that blaze through my heart. It started with me creating a false idol in your likeliness. Perpetuated by your homily preaching of a twisted grace. I shouldn’t have knelt to worship at your alter of fallible love.

Unfortunately, I have to confess that I have fallen to this on more than one occasion. Thanks so much for the compliment, Lyric Man. I appreciate you taking the time to read and reply.
