PRAYER FOR THE OMNIPOTENT LOVER
PRAYER FOR THE OMNIPOTENT LOVER * As she sat on the bed, he brushed her hair and told her it was beautiful The next day he threw all her clothes outside and left her wondering just what the hell happened? * What did she do to deserve this fate, an action overflowing with venom and hate? * She tried to find reason in what took place, but everything he did, just didn't make sense. * Why did he tenderly, make love to her in that chair? Enjoying the pleasure, but only for her? Then ask her if she thought, was he a good lover? In spite of the fact, he had made her legs quiver? * Why after spending the whole day with her did he tell her to go home when the light became blurred? * Said he wanted to sleep with her, but he knew he shouldn’t Said he wanted to love her, when he knew that he couldn’t. * Did he feel that he had to undo the romance, to release him fromthe chains of his own impotence? * Which by the way, was the result of his own abuse of alcohol, tobacco and prescription pills, Till thefinal episode, became a haze of an alcohol- fueled jealous rage. * Better to blame her than acknowledge damage done, disclaiming his title as the omnipotent lover * Better to place it all on her Than to claim a romance over when she didn’t have a clue! * And he still wondered…… would she ever come back again? * Please tell her to, Amen. * WordPlaya, July 2009
