"Prove Me Wrong"

Be thou the force that
   gales cannot forestall.
And Make a mockery of my
   accusations and mountains of evidence.
Spoken by myself
   adorned with
Powered wig and steel-tipped toes
   that know no silence.

Bring Nature's Will to bear
   whilst thou art dragged into my personal
   Hall of Injustice.
In shackles that my
   Wounded Heart hath created
And where vengeance knoweth no end . . .

The only recourse is to plumb thy own
   source of Reinvention
Without which
   pleading falls no further than thy last broken promise.

Say Now
   from the bottom of thy Soul
   what can only be made real . . .
By casting out what Fate has given thee
   and invoking a new way for
   thine Heart to speak.

So go ahead,
   prove me wrong.
Take those accusations and mountains of evidence
   and boil them into an elixir
   that Disorients and Frees thee.
And forge a new bond between our hearts
   that shall never be broken again . . .
