Screams dismissed as audio hallucinations
Delicate caress dismissed as a light breeze
Undeniable emotion dismissed as remnants of dream
The familiar warmth massaging your heart dismissed
Where in your design of soulmate was I delinquent
Had me a complete believer as you were blandiloquent
Never had I suspected you were dentiloquent
For you I had always remained magniloquent
The kindness you mastered to disguise your autolatry
So high above everything was the pedestal I had you on
Which mattered not, wasn\'t my pedestal you wanted
Emotional flatline put the poet on a slab
Yet somehow the coffin lid doesn\'t stay closed
Reanimated there must be some poetry left I must compose
No matter how long dead I never decompose
Anew ready to die trying....again......I suppose
