The Rue

Distressing it is to comprehend
the peculiarity of such an ordeal

The end where is susceptible of,
a having been had kind of a deal

The bygone stands a witness,
of me used as a means to an end

In times of desolate necessity
for my own I was left to fend

So much for the kinship,
and purported kind of a bond

During affluence it surfaces,
in times rough it doesn't respond

The hurts do get treated
but the emotional pain does not abate

Where balms prove ineffective
and most medicines don't alleviate
