Love Ebbs Deeper

A Poem

Paranoid, the love ebbs deeper

Trusted, the love ebbs deeper

Cheated, the love ebbs deeper

Paranoid to explicit ends

Patronised, the love ebbs deeper

Anomalized, the love ebbs deeper

Autonomized, the love ebbs deeper

She is paranoid to explicit ends

Prepare yourself for the bitter

termination of deceit

Deception, and the love ebbs deeper

Conception of a trust by truth

Ruthless the contempt

the love ebbs deeper

Content with deceit

the love ebbs deeper

Power is the name of the game

Control his mechanism

Sowing seeds of doubt

with pastures of honesty

The pasture rots as ebbs of deceit

flow gallantly

Heirs and graces couldn’t comprehend

the shame that’s met with a bitter end

Can’t stop, won’t stop can only begin again

The shadows of deceit your contemporary,

your colleague, your peer

She shows respect as the cacophony deepens louder

Hyena a heinous crime

Knowing what you know now

would you repeat the mistake of belonging?

He makes her feel so brand new

she will never walk away

Admitting the truth will leave her stranded in breathlessness

Air seeping into her lungs

just enough to keep her alive

but comatose

catatonic in her existence

She tackles the mundane like life’s dependent

upon her struggle

Paranoia shielded everyday

A padded cell in her mind

takes her struggle as given

Deception believed, the love ebbs deeper

Paranoid intrusion, and the love ebbs deeper

Trust not confusion, the love ebbs deeper

Relinquished ability to survive much longer

and finally the love kills her

Her spirit diminished to a flicker

Flames once vibrant now simmer

The love has ebbed its flow

to levels unknown

Unmanageable her life has become

Consumed by his lies

her life is delusion

She can’t exist

amongst this confusion

Can’t set herself free

while his lies she believes.
