I’ll pen, with tears you tore from me,
these lines of love’s insanity.
These bitter, written rhymes I’ve cried
from savaged heart and soul inside.
Inside this shell that once was me:
the man you robbed of liberty,
of freedom, for I fell for you
when selfishly you turned the screw
on fetters for my hands and feet
(My diadems of dark defeat)
and forged in furnace, set ablaze
with passion; you composed this craze
I bear! So now I sit and stare,
alone, in dungeon of despair;
your ghost is all that’s left to blame,
for someone said, “She’s not the same;
she’s been another girl, since him;
more sociable, serene, so slim!
Sophisticated; not a kid;
she’s born again since she got rid!”
I’ll pen with pain (you put me through)
these lines, to say, in love with you
I’ll stay, and if the tide won’t turn
and Fate refuses your return,
I’ll dedicate to girl long-dead
these lines, which will remain unread.
And I shan’t seek to settle score
nor lay this sell-out at your door!

Blimey ! There's so much going on in this poem. I'm full of questions.
Whereas this is a statement of heartfelt pain, it is also a heck of a tease, for each reader will want to know more.
am I right in remembering this write from before, dear poet?
if I had time I would search and verify for myself..
either way a bravely revealing read and a poignantly emotive dedication, as ever - skilfully executed
Thanks. Yeah, I think this is a reworking of an old poem. When I go back over my old rhymes I feel compelled to rewrite them for clarity.
I understand, I think if it resonates enough for me to recall your poem, it says a lot about the impact it had on first read
Good emotive write Kevin.
