Insidious Love


I sit in darkness all that exists is anger bubbling over me I try to push back but resistance is futile it will take over I hide my true self behind a gentle facade hiding emotion Emotion took me to the darkness I am in to slowly eat me I can not handle the monster I created through such deep feeling The feeling of love is very insidious it slowly kills me Because of this love the anger set in to lead blocking out all else It had been lurking waiting for the best moment to snatch up its prey Now I am trapped I am enslaved to the rage made strong by neglect I don't understand how love leads to such anger I fear its red glow The red glow of rage glides to me in the darkness slowly transforming When it reaches me it has a definite shape: a red glowing man His voice was an echo “I have trapped you in your love” the glowing echo said The red turned orange and the darkness swallowed me the final trap sprung
