Unfinished symphony

A solo performance-
you played out; within me
upon my stage of vulnerability

preying behind the curtain of
my blind-spot to release an
infernal act that hypnotised;
my emotional intelligence
seducing my mind
swaying to the pendant
of your charm offensive
corrupted from your knowledge

You began by manipulating
the strings of my heart.
with my love falling out of tune;
to the tone of your mercy
that played over and over
motioning a perpetual echo
of my learned behaviour

your big bands bashed;
banging my head
against a brick wall
with a repetitive
motion

I hushed you with
my break-down
but you would beat –
not the hell, but
my confidence
out of my mind.

Paralysed.

my strength weakened.

and weakened

until.

i sang the chorus.
that finally
blew you away!

and your symphonic
pychosis

was unfinished.
