    How cunning I thought;
    you evoke passion
    from under my veil of pain,
    gaining swift
    and calculative entry
    through the window
    of my soul.

    You sense my weakness
    and expose me,
    unravelling the complex web
    that traps my emotional wreckage.

    Yes!
    I consumed your caring words,
    digesting them greedily,
    syllable for syllable
    until I wanted to choke and scream;
    'Hold me, love me, give me joy!'.

    Instead, I looked away
    shutting off your voice...
    How cunning I thought
    to have recognized your name;
    Co-dependant.

    great technique and images, although the "window of my soul" line came as a little too cliche in a poem otherwise filled with wonderful images/allusions. But my favorite thing about this was the beautiful psychological subject... great great stuff, pulled off brilliantly. thanks for this one!
