I am trapped in a catacomb
Of unrecognizable affections.
I can no longer decipher the depths
Of my own emotion.
Intense confusion has swelled
To consume the secluded recesses
Of my heart.
The love had been unconditional
In previous days,
Dangerously blind to obvious flaws,
Though a minuscule second of doubt
Brought about its indubitable ruin.
Anxiety, anger, and repressed angst
Consistently wax and wane,
Varying in accordance with the hour.
The liquids of grief
Breached my sorrowful eye
Even before the lonely fate
Had been sealed.
