My heart feels like a pantomime wilderness, deceptive and empty.

A lonely soul, full of feelings that only delude my brain.

You came in with a comic swaggering, too noticeable to forget

A means for impressing me that were not honest.

You and your gaudy jibber-jabber meant more than I'd like to admit,

Downcast white words given to me, but taken from someone

Else's mouth and meant for someone else's ears.

You made life feel more than a glistening Paradiso, shimmering, hopeful.

But really you thought you were stuck in the Inferno, burning and fading

Burlesque propensity, romance that wasn't really there.

Your bittersweet brutality plagued my mind, a sour kiss in my memories

You tricked my heart into love, but then again, I still had love.

Swaggering swell of ego higher than a tsunami at the height of a storm

Your brain of gnarled madness, playing us all for fools

Fools with no reason to doubt the things you said to anyone,

To me, in that razor-prone summer,

The summer of weatherbeaten butterflies too weak to fly on their own

Far too scared to stay. My, what a comparison to make for me

A victim of love infection, of the rotten pressure of feeling

A bittersweet erase of me, limboed alone, affected by the

Smirking plum alchemist of you.
