EXPOSED

I hope you can sleep at night, I truly

Wanted to love you, but you have left many wounds.
A game of chance you played? You said you would
Never hurt me, but you lied, you
Tormented me with your ingenious
Entreats. I swear, you are a master of
Deception and games of the mind .

The king of seduction. Your ego, a wealth of cheer? I made an
Oath to myself to live in self denial. In a

Limbo’s dream, a fairyland
Of empty closet’s mind. I filled my
Voids with ‘other’stupidity but you
Enticed my walls to crumble, and impregnated daydreaming!

You came, wielding life’s hammer and eluded
Obstacles in your path, that I put
Up to protect me. I thought I was strong enough. I so foolishly, let you.

Acrostic poetry defines a style of verse in which the opening or closing letters,
 or letters arranged by some other system, conveys a special message or names a
person, place or thing. This presents a rare challenge to the poet, yet is rewarded
when the reader discovers the hidden message. Most Acrostic poetry is simple in
  its approach, but some can be ingenious, crafty and cryptic. At the very least,
                          this style is fun!
