The Vortex
We lived in a marvellous world
Of make-believe. What a charade!
Differences seemed to disappear
With dissimulation and deceit,
Prevarication, alienation from
Cherished ones, parents, family,
Friends! As she took the initiative,
The contorted configurations of
Her tortuous desires besieged my heart
And asphyxiated our relationship.
Love grew obsessive, dependent,
Hopelessly obtrusive, devastating
Like a raging, decimating, tropical
Storm, leaving, in its wake, insidious
Hurt, pain, torture, torment, gnawing angst!
When, for another, she turned her back,
Leaving me with battered mind, and splintered
Will, my world shattered, like a mirror, into
A thousand kaleidoscopic pieces, each a
Merciless reflection of my profound agony!
