Where did my beautiful,
Sensitive,
Lover go?
Was he only ever
A fantasy?
An imagined ideal
That you never
Lived up to?
It seems so.
Yet it's impossible
To believe.

Are there
Two
Of you?
What terrible pain
Could cause
Such a rift?
And which is
The real you?

Will the demon be exorcised
And leave you
Whole and free?
Or is the
Unveiled
Confusion
The future?
