A poem

I'm really not sure what to do,

I want to break up with you.

What once was hypnotic

Now seems quite despotic:

Emotions I want overruled.

***

It's funny how soon it has turned

From something desperately yearned

To a taste very sour

More dark by the hour:

A desire that needs to be spurned.

***

The excitement that I used to feel

On the cusp of fanatical zeal

Is starting to wane

And earn my disdain

My light it's starting to steal.

***

I think about regaining space

Retreating to my carapace

Irrepairably torn

By derision and scorn;

I need to discover my place.
