Piece By Bloody Piece
Compromising regard to life
thou being my curse
turning my world asunder
in your regard I was lesser
a presence in whispers
You the filch-er stole self
the cadence of speech
seem as missives
reaching a velvet caress
raising expectation
your delusion no mistruth
nectarous phrase
dripping love
suddenly discord pricks
a deceived psyche
Thou eyes serpentine
gave thee away
glinting ego
treachery unveiled
A crescent moon
bandits signal light
cloaking and revealing
razor sharp talons
slicing my psyche
demon shadow
concealing
your gleefulness
at arranging its pieces
a grotesque disarray
your magnum opus
the crumbling effigy of my entity
plundered dreams shattered
to nothingness
Still
holding portions of self
supplanting thee
is no question
as time rules
so
my being follows you
Piece by bloody piece …
