Eyes were gaping
blurred with her deceived visage,
she disappeared in a trice
when I was in blithe
drenched in her presence
leaving my soul bereaved

And the quietude
she assumed
when words were blossoming
but despite such aberrant silence
her love was arrested in my eyes
blinding me to see the atrocities

And when I started relishing
my despaired state
while being thrown
in a nightmarish spin
learning to stay with her memories
she appeared again
with love filled deceit
