Love Unreal

She prefers the drama;

the narcissistic

alcoholic  psychotic

playing on her emotions,

preying on her privacy,

betraying her trust.

The test of time

has repeatedly failed

to prove he’ll change;

yet she remains in the pain

of living in his illusion

he calls love.

Maybe for the sake

of the children, or

maybe in the name

of hope.

So broken and indignant

in her materialistic pursuit;

in her unrealistic relationship

resulting from  lustful dreams

followed by their eyes

instead of growing wise

with their hearts.

Maybe someday

she will finally grasp

the handle on reality

that opens the hidden door

behind which overlooked

and forgotten men are

dying slow of a lonely heart.

For only a lonely heart

knows  the appreciation

of true love.
