This Is How My Story Ends

You're being fallacious, saying I still loved her
Accusing me of falsity to prey on emotions
When it was really you, whom I truly admired
But you ran for the exit, way before we tried.

When I first met her, in a chance encounter
Dazzle me she did, with brilliant scarlet colors
Sharing with me how deeply she yearned more.

Charmed by her visage, I let feelings ride
Being curious to agnize, why did she tantalize
Flirting with my eyes, resting on my vibes
Floating on my air, charming my universe,

Till I saw him with her, inciting me to bewilder
Who was that man, who held her in embrace
Taking boldly my place, while kissing her face.

As I felt all my oxygen eviscerate from lungs
Spinning like a vortex, my emotions whirled 
Taking a plunge into abyss of the unknown.

I didn't see it then, this is how my story ends
Perhaps it's best to skip reasoned arguments,
Especially those love doesn't comprehend
For in matters of heart, logic seldom helps.

"As I felt all my oxygen eviscerate from lungs Spinning like a vortex, my emotions whirled Taking a plunge into abyss of the unknown"...... how powerfully you have portrayed the emotions of bewilderment and frustration on seeing your love betrayed and your fiancee in the amorous embrace of another man....

Hi Vijay, The emotions flow in this write. Firstly, on the wave of love's dream, then wipeout as the waters drown your words in sadness. As Paul says, so life can be. Once again your emotions touch the heart with such a powerful touch. You are ever a true wordsmith my friend. Have a wonderful monday. Your friend always....Mike.

Love has no logic. Hormones have no reason. The heart is but a muscle that can break with all unreason. Beautiful
