Unfaithful Path

Love uprooted to the core
Not by winds or torrents of rain
But by that of a mystical lore
To leave your mind in captivity I must refrain

Senses viewed the web of deception
Sights and sounds have testified
Dishonesty aired by perception              
Spoken words were weightless and denied

Selfishness and insincerity share the elements of apathy
Lack of wholeness for the fittest was discernible  
Tandem hearts strive on nurture and empathy
Unity without equality weakens and not reversible

You captured my love from your piercing arrow
I lacked the intuition to know of your deceit
Followed in your footsteps that narrowed
The path of promises is now obsolete

Discovery of arrows found breaks my trust
You could not let go the need to shoot
You held no love for me but only the lust
I will not forgive, I must leave this painful route
