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
