In the warmth of my love,
I am delivered from oblivion,
The side you hid from me,
The part that you led me on.
•x•
In life's rose-coloured glasses
I didn't see you as a trickster.
The warning signs, I was remiss
You ensured I would falter.
•x•
I held on to your side of truth
Controverting the evident facts
Wounded, numb, deaf, and blind
Cozened into your cunning acts.
•x•
In the chiasm of truth and lies
Realizations hit hardest
As it reified, I deliquesced
I was only another conquest.
•x•
Shame sidles me into a dark crevasse
Deep in the emptiness of the abyss
I find solace in the frigid embrace
Balter away from your bitter memories.
•x•
The fire inside of me is ablaze
I ascend from my failures
Like a Phoenix from its ashes
Hence, the better me conjures.
