The Undesirable Companion
There she is
Like a flash of light
In a darkened room
With a second
Between the light
And the boom
....of TRUTH
Stunned, immobile
By the magnitude
Of what can not be escaped
Eyes, transfixed
In the now of what is
I'm raped
....of choice
How dare she
Just show up, uninvited
In spite of what she's ignited
A well concealed rage
Of what has been engaged
Locked in a well-mannered cage
...of deceit
And the reality
That nothing can fix
Broken.......
but TRUTH,
Is NOT........
a desirable feeling
