Affection triumphs

For the sake of kindred
Something was asked of me
Setting aside the distaste
Jockeyed into fake camaraderie

Lopsided things remain

Broken hearts aren’t mended
Crumpled are the lives amidst
There shall be no amend

Fragility of the human ego

Lives are torn asunder
Is there ever a respite
From the emotional plunder
