Love's Crumbling Foundation

You beckoned me to love's door; The steps you gilded with hope, and glossed with a libido to score. With an open window to heart's latch, on amor's ledge we ballasted unbridled passions with reason's cerebral core. O'er time, your corrosive nature did fealty's shutters crack. Your flamable ego the fragile beams did retard. Consuming pride through the patchwork frills did bore. Your inflexible, jealous studs did my mercurial grooves abhor. Your intemperate binges jammed the maleable spring on love's hinges evermore. Duplicitous actions stripped the veneer from ground floor. In love's final absolution, mortar's bonding glue from foundational blocks severed.
