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
