As a thief mastered, He sneaked
As a snake slithered, He crawled
As the cover of the night, He filled in defiantly
Like the shout of the Israelites
The walls of my Jericho he broke
On the basement softest, a mansion elaborate
He built
Filled with love and joy and happiness
For at hello, He had me
With an apparent purity
Of heart
Gazeful of love
Smileful of beauty
Gait exuding manliness
The gentle and smooth seduction of his wit
For in my labyrinth of a heart
His magnificent home he built
In a jolt, a whistle
A blink, a haze
A tornado of fate
Upon us descended
Away washed in a haste frenzied
Leaving me
Dishevelled and disintegrated
Limp, weakened
Insatiable and untrusting
Pained, threatened
Unsure and unstable
Sick, thickened
Unfair and unkind
A black pit with
But a pinprick of light
At the farthest end.
