He Loved His Own Illusion of Me

With his  solid fancy, he built up me
Then loved his  own creation with full heart
As soon as  he perceived discrepancies
He struck me with  his words like poisoned darts

Never did  he love me as he thought
It was  his own  creation, it was he
He threw such rage  that  in it, I was caught
I am not perfect, that is nothing new

Experiencing such fantasy is pain
It all takes place inside the owner’s self
The  people  whom we saw won’t come again
Love is a  but a dream built up in stealth

How do we escape this wish to find
Another being perfectly designed?
Is it by accepting our own flaws
We are freed from dreaded dragons’  jaws?

We may find our love like a lost coin
If we search the drains  to which dirt’s drawn
