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.
