Their Love Affair with the Devil

When I met you, you offered reluctant love,
Today; I seek a shield and to build a wall.
Your manipulation, throughout the years,
Your anger, your rules and hidden thoughts...
No conversations, to discuss our way;
Your hidden adultery was caught for display,
The coldness of your very word;
That cuts deep to the core in all its way.

In the early days, we were true as friends...
Those days after; never ending lies, the demands that betray.
I hear them, even today…
There are no answers to your narcissism; as one can describe,
And the stare on your face, no soul appeared from within your eyes.
As power, I know is all that you desire.
The cold side of your expression, that helped towards your indiscretions...
What damage was done in your early life?
That bled to detract and attack with venom...
To make you broken and to destroy our dreams,  our mission.

Not to face your ambitions; or to share your life with me...
To only replay the anguish, the hidden loops of your life and history.
I walked away, I cried many tears, only to look back reflecting the years...
What could have been, our lives had been shared.
When I needed you the most, you were just not there...
Your family was first and that is so, you had a husband, as your best friend too…
Family traits had brushed me off, for you to have your way;
To sabotage security and our love up until today.

You cried, when I walked away as you demanded me to go.
Those crocodile tears, was the giveaway, that opened my eyes with a blow...
And my heart was freed, as there was someone else in your heart, we know.
Seen from the reflection of your eyes...
In your shadows looking on, had you known at the time?
Satan had taken you away from me, he  had worked on your mind.

Prayer after prayer, I was  told to let you go....
