ALLUSION, DELUSION, DESPAIR
Beguile with innocent dialogue.
Maliciousness and manipulation in mind.
Feed the ego.
Keep the agenda hidden for now.
Intersperse concern with deviance.
Conjure, console, appeal.
Make it all appear so real.
Lead on with conversation.
No repercussions, no investment.
No dues to pay.
Cold hearted calculation
buried beneath bantering.
Twist and weave a spell of mystery.
Feign an interest, an attraction
to capture the mind
and destroy a heart.
It's only a game.
The enigma intrigues.
Perplexity challenges.
Aroused by glimpses
of emotions disclosed.
Laughter and experiences shared.
Caring starts, attraction grows.
Boredom replaced by excitement.
Predictability by mystery.
Yearning to learn more,
to delve into this heart and soul.
To understand and know.
Expose vulnerability, passion, trust.
Attraction has grown to love,
Tentatively given.
Coarse words heard, callousness discovered.
Self delusion exposed, confusion ensues.
Game concludes.
Affair uncovered, the horror disclosed.
Face to face with the abomination.
Bile rises up, jaws clamp, drive it down.
Blink to hold back the tears.
Try to contain the fears
from crawling up from the soul.
Force rationality to take control.
Is this for real?
Analytically face the facts.
Feel the knife in the back.
Examine the years past.
Search for a cause, a reason.
Accept blame, lay blame.
Where did it go wrong?
Betrayal, deception, ANGER!
Surge up, overpower.
Emotional assassination.
