Poem for #60 - Poem 2

Your heart is caged in by her absence
The pain in your eyes illuminated by her name

I want to bind your wounds
I want to flush your poisons

You speak on her acquisitiveness
Her cupidity, revolting

You ache from her infidelity
Her betrayal, a lesion

Her egotism
Her materialism
Her superficial piety
Why don’t they rebuff?

Your perfection is astounding
The depth of your creativity persuades me

The heights of your spirituality, transfixing
Your compassion is implausible

I want to know all of you

I stagger to understand
Why she renounced you

I lurch further
Speculating
Why the queen of paltry matters
Holds your profound heart

  2. P.S. Was 'she' not really you? Or alter-you perhaps.
