Destined for an existence of nothingness

Destined for an existence of nothingness
Cursed on the unlikely pretense of loving
Enticed in all innocence into realms of blindness
Caught like a rat in a trap of good feelings

Why should she in a moment of longings
Picture his image in thoughts of her mind
Allowing capture unwittingly unknowing
By the elf specializing in balloon designs

Lesson learnt not to stray in thoughts
Lodged in elements who are brain-dead
To be manipulated in all cheekiness wrought
With weird imaginations of a human head

    Sometimes one has to stay out of their own head, or others.

    The opening and closing lines surreal but so meaningful, Hank!
