She Drives Me Crazy

She Drives Me Crazy….in a bad way.

Serotonin wells in the shallow crevasses—

Amalgamating in my wanting brain

I entreat the moment, to rise from the ashes—

While speculating the longing attained

As the pavement turns to dirt, my mind goes astray,

I wander in and out of mentation

My haven burns and hurts, my heart, resigned by her today—

As this hole in my chest explains the ablation

Alone and in hell, foreshadowing in flashes

I began debating and talking insane

My emotions, a component, that always clashes,

rejuvenating the spawning of pain.

Enslavement to love was to affirm and designed to betray

So the monster can come out of his station

Though cravings reassert and remind me each day

The longer he roams the lesser is my narration.

‘Twas an omen I felt with this sallow compassion

Her blockading of my morning window panes.

As shadows closed in and quelled like unhallowed magic,

my pulsating chest, was a warning of her bane.

I grew impatient, more alert, primed to obey

To squander the notion I have for causation

Forsaken I’d flirt with my time as a play

I’d ponder the whole thing, my life, the aggravations.

Going forward had spelled me the gallows for my actions

Translating as me, walking to expiry in shame

What was stolen impelled the arrows of exaction

placating me of washing my hands of constraints.

The pavement she inserted, a reminder, as a causeway

That the monster kept inside cannot rest in sedation

But all her playing perverted and aligned my dismay

and stronger then was my woven frustrations

Out of nowhere she yelled and wallowed in detraction

baiting me into talking and destroying my name.

Words left unspoken, as my mind dwelled in reaction

Waiting and walking, now pacing and poisoned with blame.

In amazement I became introverted, confined to replay,

As her words like a boxer, verbs and uppercuts in fractions

With proper placement exerted, maligned with words she preys,

The lies she conjured like sure shots from a wordsmith, an assassin.

I began combing my mind cells to get away from distraction

Educating myself with warring in this game,

Thrown in with farewells, were hollow infractions

Of parallel narratives that have flaws in their claims.

Those were the statements I heard, she’d reminds me each day,

And they can’t find a doctor to curb her vile fashion

nor prescribe pain meds to avert her inveighs,

and I’m the crazy monster who made all this happen.
