My Love's Demise

Atrium's veneer was of coagulum 
Of epithets and vague reflexions 
That halted the roue from circulation 
Vengeance was her ultimatum 
  
And thus her demise was the greatest conundrum 
For thine eyes have never seen her evaporation 
Even before, during her creation 
A ratocinator, to have was her desideratum 
  
Covered with stains of preoccupied continuum 
Of dread preterits without explanations 
She was a hoarded wealth kept to her own manifestation 
No one but she was her only molybdenum.
