Between Angels and Insects

Unnatural in beauty, unsaintly in thought

I ponder her ways, and the misery she brought

Ignored and abandoned, she has cast me adrift

My tears she has hastened, my grief has been swift.

 

Why did I think that I ever stood a chance?

She toyed with my heart, and led me a dance

A dance with the Devil, alluring and bright

She banished my sorrow, and put it to flight

 

I thought I found bliss, we talked and we smiled

An angel made flesh, so pure, undefiled

Then she showed her true nature, and I weep as I write

Silent and frigid; she held me in spite.

 

Like a meaningless insect, a fly or a roach,

She brushed me aside, destroying my hopes.

Heartless and soulless, some inhuman race,

Between angels and insects, she honors her place.

 

Someday I may forgive her lack of compassion

Perhaps in her suffering I’ll discover my peace

But meanwhile my hatred survives unabated

‘Til that blessed day when I find my release.
