The beginning of the end
Alicia Del Fava 1973 (East London)
It started with passion but ended in loathing.
A powerful potion of love that's foreboding.
It was toxic and blinding. Beautiful but bitter.
His cries for redemption, though frequent, would flitter.
Engulfed in adoration. Consumed by isolation.
Their world was complete in their blissful separation.
A broken bow they could not sustain.
Their union dissolves. Only memories remain.
