Terrible to sever
heaven from a heart –
although as
you succumb to understanding 
what had just
lubriciously colluded with your hope, 
maliciously created
this scenario, this promise 
of alluring interlude, the prospect of a lover who’d 
convinced you
he would prove to love (or anyway 
pretend to) just
enough to stay the night – at least 
you’ve
learned, with all its yet and yet and after,
severing’s a cunning
art. Again (you dope) you lost 
the part: cold-shouldered
by the covert soulless 
laughter in his
eyes, despising, through a show 
of caring for,
the profitless silly scene of you. 
The putative love
would not remain. 
Queasily
quick, it crashed in the brain, 
left your unusable
body behind,
un-drained, maligned,
disowned.
How abashed one
is  
to find oneself
so easily de-boned.
