Ejected, Evicted, Unprotected and Uninvited

Expectations unmet In love that shone light On hopes unfelt Strode astride in flight To Cupid’s abode Where love smote A heart that rode A hurdle whose coat Sought to suppress An impression within an operation Meant to address stress Felt so keenly affection Crept, wept and slept A deep slumber Swept to a pillow’s left In a mood so somber A strident snore Shook awake a lover Whose interest to prick the core Of a masked matter plucked a clover Under the cover of a truce Initiated to patch up differences In opinion and substance grew loose During conferences and inferences Took the lover to task Daring him to chide churlish manners Even if the lover chose to ask Busybodies to stop throwing spanners In the works forgiveness Strove so hard to bring about Within the thickness and stillness Commotions injected to tout Provocations and convocations in their varieties Seeking to surge forward To kill realities That fought backward Processes of recesses Bent on promoting increasing tension In affection accesses That wouldn’t come to fruition As time by dint of inevitability Failed to heal the jilted Despite their desire for humility To plug up gaps for the wilted who felt ejected and rejected.
