LUCENT ABYSS

Her beauty shone brighter than a million suns,

camouflaging the dark ugliness of her mind.

Hurtful words expelled like bullets of sentry guns,

before friends and foe am I severely maligned.

I welcomed her into my summer-warm embrace,

yet she set a bouquet of thorns in my bossom.

Her lips served as her spiked mace,

allowing her concealed nature to blossom.

Filled with awe at such severe damage, 

I retired my emotions for this wench.

My forgiving eyes eclipsed by a merciless rage,

and my essence reeked of a loathly stench.

I couldn't pick the pieces of her crumbling heart,

for even mine had been so viciously torn apart.
