THE LAMPSHADE Poignant pungent pain sustained, continuing for years, followed ! I had to swallow as I feel saudade looking at the EXPENSIVE LAMPSHADE only to shed my irresistible tears, tearing my heart, moping memories, to clear. Lampshade ! A gift on your part once won my heart, but as you depart, it stands to taunt as defeat to flaunt in suffocated air on dreary despair . My ordinary lamp once was fixed in more ordinary clamp. The lovely lampshade appeared for adornment but later to irritate turning me outrageous. My malleable mind mutilated, mangled humiliated. Dreamy desires scattered. Ebullient ego shattered. I made bevue relying on you to roll and ripple in rue. My serene sanctum is splintered getting BRUISES to shed blood drop by drop. My livid contempt deliberately dropped the lampshade to break in pieces to rescind beguilement. At last retrieving peace of mind.
