Sigh

I was not able to capture

The piece of you I coveted

You shimmered in the distance with a guileful smile

Your nonchalant air made me feel safe

When I cast my yearning into your ears

You pushed me away just far enough

That I felt dizzy and afraid of the loss

And then you pulled me back to kiss my neck

While you whispered in my ear

That my desire was too enveloping

For your rasputin soul to accept

I trembled in anticipation of your touch

And heard you sigh

Promise

Your word

Your asseverations

Things you say construe

Your profession of

You

Your bequest to those

Who are not me

For when you offer me

Your declarations

Of assurance and delectation

These vowels and consonants

Fall from your delusive lips

Like rain on a stormy day

Into my fatuous ear

Only to be disproved

When I realize my witless

Belief

Truth

Words are but letters

Laced together to form sentences

To communicate your deceptions

Those possessions you deem

To be your certainty

Creeping in for my consideration

Playing on my gullible intellect

The one that has led me astray

In so many scenarios

Leaving me emotionally penniless

Begging on corners for a pittance

Crying in the rain with no umbrella

Cold and abandoned

Shivering under the onslaught of your

Never ending deluge of dishonesty

Wondering how it could be

That I with all my intellect

Can be so easily fooled

By your fraudulent smile

And the erroneous being

That is you
