Seesaw
His seesaw
Unjust
Asymmetrical
Rocky terrain
Never level
Inequitable
Divergent existence
In his kingdom
He holds all
The power
Reigning over her
Exerting his
Diabolical supremacy
To tighten the chains
Around this slave
Even tighter to ensure
That he always keeps
Her blind to his deception
With intense
Prodigality
She showered him
With so much
Adoration and love
While she's neglected
Starving for even
The slightest hint
Of devotion for her
The embodiment
Of loneliness she
Desperately hungers
For the nourishment
That will ensure
Her survival
Through the years
Her star lost it's
Luminous shine
Hope took a bow
Departing forever
Vitality depleted
She gave so much
Of herself to him
But, despite the
Sweet, tender
Gestures that she
Did for him
He only flouted
Her futile attempts
To please him
Sweet gestures
Long aborted
Went unnoticed
For quite some time
But, eventually
He sensed her
Absence from
His empty life
It haunting him
No other
Feminine spirit
Was quite like her
No one again ever
Had the dedication
Or love for him
That she possessed
Now he knew how
Much she was worth
To him so he decided
To search for the
Love he abandoned
With such indifference
One eerie chilly
Winter night
He heard the wailing
Of the banshees
He followed the
Loud screeching
That roamed
In the night
Ending up at
A playground
In a park he
Once took her to
For a moment
He heard the
Sound of her voice
Feeling overjoyed
He ran towards
Those angelic sounds
Until he found her
Then let out screams
At the sight of her
Frail & withered body
Hanging from the
Seesaw he used
To lobotomize her
Causing her to die
As she lived
As his zombie
