(to write inspired by the above from Sanaa)

And we all go bonkers dislodged 

from a pedestal of comfort and security

Where to dismount ebbed of motivations

(to love and sacrifice for one of the other)

is not pleasing to the emotional self

Disparity of levels of awareness and progress

following a break-up is downright unfair 

for one has to face the recoil 

at assessing reality all alone

One wants to keep the relationship intact

but the rationale at keeping a cool head is put on hold

where irate feelings are bubbling at the insides

wickedly wishing the other party is suffering just as much

Such is falling out of love experienced at the outset

where the confident self is at its weakest 

and at its most vulnerable

where one grabs at a likely being 

who happens to be around then looking for conquests

One succeeds in conquering and exacting revenge

or one gets conquered luck deserting at that critical moment

Failure in a relationship is then rewound 

for a second or a third episode following

A reappraisal is rebuffed hoping it will work this time

When shades of loss weave with a pattern of madness 

Will the human mind unravel itself back to reality?

When taking stock of the hurts and recriminations

adjustments are of immediate concern to make

for either a recluse accepting defeat or a fight-back

to salvage the honor and self respect of an esteemed self

Falling in love and out of love is still a necessary evil though

for all the valuable experiences unwittingly garnered 

It was horrid then but good when it lasted

so long as the emotional scars did not cause too much damage

and one is all the cleverer at the next round
