Love Abandoned

Ten word contest 4-8-18.JAN ALLISON 

Yesterday I let go of tenderness, 
Love, ask for my reason of neglect,
I replied, while heartbreak echoed out my voice
Long ago I anxiously awaited your harvest,

A once plentiful necessity, yet now a desolate undesired affection,
Which brewed up toxic tempest leaving me in devastation; a uncontrollable destruction of emotionless,
Resembling a untamed bull holding crimson in it's wild eyes, 
Causing a furious rampage within  life I've forgotten,

Depression' s darkening shadow distorted my futures vision,
As I drift softly in to a sea of misery,  Sanity's shore disappeared out of existence,
Loneliness a misty sweat sticking to my skin like humidity,

Lost forever with thoughts of false passion; I deeply buried my compassion's grace,
As it lay rested with peace, I reflect emptiness; appearing to the opposite sex a mislead mortal, I abandon love's softly caress,

A yearning intermittently conceiving; my own realistic nightmare of lonesomeness
