Those miscreant emotions,
wild and rouge,
never misses a chance
to make her despair,
and as she tries to expunge
from its vindictive clasp,
it draws her back into a draconianravine,
and when she fights with her grit
it further tightens its grip,
but the moment she surrenders
it lets her go,
and with time as she regains her respite
those treacherous sentiments
surges from behind,
pulling her back
into the labyrinth
of some dark abyss entwined

Such is the ruse
the emotions played
leaving her appalled
and in absolute dismay
