No Longer At Peace In My Comfort Zone Poem by John Sensele

Couldn't on the dame I love put the blame
Although on me the sleazy situation poured shame

Making me feel small
Although it wasn't a downfall

So many times I nurtured a regret
That someone let out my secret

When I wasn't ready
Making my heart feel heavy

With a burden of heartbreak
To escort a fatal mistake

I invited in a haste
It's all such a waste bereft of class and taste

With no positive outcome in sight
Cowardly wisdom in hindsight

Ain't no consolation
To the unfortunate infatuation

Into which headlong I fell
As though under the hex of a spell

That plunged me into a fix
Seemingly influenced by a jinx

By the name of a charm
Which had robbed me of my calm

My world hitherto knew
The sordid episode although so new

Left me gasping for breath wondering
If there ain't no superior rendering

The scenario then required
Before from my bosom it retired

To hunt a fresh target
As the misfortune my person did forget

To leave me alone in my every bone
At long last in peace in my comfort zone.
