There was power in her constant conflict
It keeps a man off balance
A power play
And means to an ends
For those that place no value in peace
She was easily bored
Unsure of her worth
Emotional stimulation
Trumping the physical
She chose to bathe in toxicity
A poison of the mind
And she wonders why she was sick
I ignored my instincts
But she was hungry for emotional diversity
Malignantly pernicious radioactive
Can I back-engineer her
Or am I foolishly over-hopeful
I just wanted to be inside her darkest everything

I never understood the statement
I used to love you
You never did
Love is not a game you play with
Don’t delude yourself
Love must be surrendered to completely
Anything less is ungodly
Not a surrender to mundanity
I couldn’t...
