Destruction
I offered everything
stripped me to the core.
I have revealed all there is to
understand.
My intuition he cuts each time he
walks out the door.
I demand his attention by taking
psychotic action.
He detests these shows of
emotions.
And when they seize he desires
restitution.
He has been conditioned to expect
these unwarranted acts of
destruction.
Without them my love is lacking
must have been replaced by the
power of another lover.
Then his vulnerabilities can be
experienced.
