With motives that could
only be described as
devious and unwarranted,
you became the pirate
of my elemental being.
You raided my heart-treasures,
casting precious stones
of love overboard,
commandeering fortunes
of charitable intentions.
You kidnapped my soul
and held it for ransom,
capturing what was given
freely when I revealed
my conviction in you.
You raped and pillaged
my mind, my thoughts;
my mentality became
corrupted as you invaded
my innocence and optimism.
I should’ve abandoned your
company from initiation,
but your attacks made
this vessel capable of
withstanding any hardship.
