Love and Irritations

Her Lost Spirit

Genius of gladness

Moron of madness

Separating sadness from her life

She could not be faulted

For her efforts so vaulted

Lofty aim...

To alleviate pain and strife.

How could she know

That her mood, her glow

Were intricately linked

Akin to a plugged sink?

With nowhere to throw

And no room for overflow

Emotions would then spill

And one slip could kill...

Her boyfriend James knew

That keeping secrets to only a few

Selectively chosen candidates

Less worries and less reactions irate.

His boss was a drug Lord

And he'd sing along that chord

Over and over, repeating

Watch out! Beware of her cheating.

James accused her of betrayal

And a loyalty failed

She denied all accusations

Scoffed at his lame intimidations

But inside her vault

Locked emotions did stew

Brewing, simmering

What was she to do?

James did one day discover

Her under the covers

With another suitor

Then it went further

He took that man to his boss

Where together they did toss

The suitor a heavy rock

So that he would not talk...

She swore fidelity forever

And vowed that never ever

Would she smile again

She would repent; now she's a witless wench

Her mind stinks an awful stench

For all of those unexpressed feelings

Are expert at stealing

A woman's spirit.
