there you were
ready to enchant me
with your ethereal gaze
and your celestial ways
your personality an elysian elixir
that cured my thoughts
replacing them with
euphoria
our love
ephemeral
your wretched lack of self control
eternal
you left behind a dismal me
befallen with insecurity
your untoward outbursts
made loving you
a pyrrhic victory
