Nothing but your promises hung hollow in thin air
Corrupting the only blues, I held true.
Tried as you might, your charade was the brute I embraced near.
It seemed to be nothing but the measured poison I drank to death.
How that your promises were slurped with unmatched care!
Dropping out of lips like a gentle cherub seemed to pace
Powering on to me; Stomping and grounding raze beyond measure
Obliterating the forceful amour I braced myself with.
Hopes netted down to bareness, Innocence shattered, and I breathed;
Lived down the shame that was cohesive of your conceited self.
Wasted promises you tied me with, choking me to my own blood
Draftiness be my guided ally to your remembrance.
Red roses. Stars. Moon and faraway galaxies?
Damned be the promises that you left in the deep crater of my frailty!
Damned be your deaf ears which seemed unfazed by my heart’s sniveling!
Damned be your hands for flouting it open for your own culpable delight!
Oh you sly fox, while you went too far in your trickery, did you not at once
Damn yourself and the ruined promises you pledged me?
The pain, I felt deeply. The beauty of your words, I appreciate.

It’s all a part of the battle. Going to war with yourself and doing everything to put you off the cage that you allow for yourself. I’m glad you see it vividly as much as I hoped one would. Sending you all the love.
