A Love Affair Gone Mad

On screen,

 He was the model citizen

Careful dialect for the careful many

  Careful words led to open critiques written-off

initially as child's play

from a childish mind though animalistic

 skullied-body tortures

The joy befelt the self-professed deity

 as he grew from her fear and loathing

And then

 like scissors that shorten the ribbon

  that decorate the carefully and skillfully wrapped

package

It released the excess back onto the spool

 from which is spun

The package was delivered with care

 with the hope that what mattered was inside

and no recycling of wasted laborious material

When we can never be too careful

 careful can obsess over us in a way that make us

feel the need to lose ourself

She knew when to take a bow

. the stark contrast between his on screen persona and his behaviour as a paramour comes across sharply ... and i find these lines very powerfully intriguing and thought provoking ...
