By Stanley Collymore
Deserted and callously abandoned by you because
you cowardly didn't have the guts or gumption
to stand up to your domineering parents and
courageously tell them that it's your life
and therefore you've every right to live
it as you thought fit and perceptibly
without the kind of unwarranted
interference they'd been subjecting you to; and not only
expecting but also unremittingly demanding too that
you submissively and uncomplainingly reined in
your natural feelings for me by unemotionally
and as they apparently saw it pragmatically
and intentionally supplanting these with
social-climbing and most particularly
financially-motivated ambitions in
which love consciously wasn't allowed to play any part
whatsoever, even when as was perfectly well known
the specified and calamitous outcomeof this cold-
blooded and unnatural union was unmistakably
guaranteed to engender at its best what was a
noticeable dilemma and at its worst, and not
so smart, a suppressed but all the same an
intensely troubled and distinctly broken
heart. However, notwithstanding that
you none the less still calculatingly
went ahead with what had been
resolved and that you would
compliantly be doing, and
in the process effectively
and quite literally killed
off the enormous store
of love that I had for
you stone cold dead!
