She came into my life
After my mind had been conquered
She waited and observed
Patiently, waited and studied
Then she casts her web
Soon I came under her spell
I showered her with my love
I pampered her so much
Held her like an egg
Not even a crazy wind could touch her
Like an occupying force
She had been resisted
By the earlier conqueror
“It is a territory not to encroach”
So said the empress in situ
She carved niches after niches
But they could not expand
Despite my admiration and protection
Will she ever be satisfied?
Or will I?
I wonder..
I am confused…
