This is my first attempt at decima. The most common form is from Puerto Rico, has 10-lines with 8 syllables per line in the following rhyme pattern: ABBAACCDDC. This is the one I used.

Angry words masking pain and fear A world of lies you hide behind To make cruelty justified Filled with delusions of grandeur Playing sick games each passing year Perception of reality Deceiving your stability You cannot hurt me anymore Carry on your sadistic war It is all about you, not me Written 11-13-2015 Dark Side of Love Contest by Shadow Hamilton 7th Place
