Far too often, despite lovers' bind
their heart assumes the worst in you
Recalling their own shadowy mind
projecting the smear campaign as truth
My actions speak without regrettable intent
despite my mind not fearing a tiff
I bathe in justice despite the lament
and patch the unnecessary rift
With words of resolve and assurance,
amid knowledgeable concern, yet no defiance
I offered currency of concurrence
evoking currents of pulsing reliance
Fully aware of our once lively
but over time, more muted communication
Understanding my words need distillery
Purification for enhanced reverberation
Over time, you mastered a lifeless pain in your eyes
ocular razors channeling messages to frayed tongue
A weighty trust decaying in a balance of lies
today, spirit bound by another loved one
Your reserve, disconnect is documented
either way, the connection remains frayed
but wait..
...self-honesty emerges in solitary
monumentally-delayed
You made the right call.
I had it all wrong..
I never cheated on your body
heart, soul, or passions
but I cheated on your love
and didn't know 'til you revoked the rations
Very well written and
Very well written and wrly humourus this poem. I just loved your creation here. I hope there was a good resolution for you and your partner after the slander campaign; it's awful isn't it when your loved one goes on and on and losses all sense of the situation. Very entertaining poem.
