Even now – after endless years-

A dark silhouette still haunts.

Though I’ve shed a stream of tears-

The re-creation exploits my thoughts.

Domination –- Manipulation-

A weapon of pain and despair.

It rips the soul –- raw emotion-

Is it more than I can bear?

Cover the sorrow –- hide the pain-

Masquerade a truth.

Play the game but refrain-

From scrutinizing the misuse.
