    Derision


                       You are not....
                              what you seem..

                       Your soul you try to redeem..

                       Devoured cries..
                              scratching behind your eyes..
                      
                       Making you lie..
                              to the woman so can't confide...

                       Running in circles..
                              around your heart..

                       Your soulful cries never to part..

                        Only to run in your mind..
                              throughout the existence of time..

                        Never to share..
                        Never to hold..
                              watching yourself slowly unfold..

                        Your pride..you've adorned-
                              your duplicity forever worn...

                         Finally.. karma shows you torn
                              by what you thought would never catch up
                                        fidelity's scorn........

    The use of riducule and scorn to shower contempt on another is an age old practice. Its use in your poem, in a modified form, is a clever concept.

    Oh what a tangled web we weave..... Very nicely done. Devoured cries scratching behind your eyes - that is an awesome line!! It forces you to feel it!! Once again... 10 from me.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
