Disillusionment

a spiteful tirade
undermining years of trust
the need to withdraw

to think attacking
one's whole life experience
comes from love and care

the hypocrisy
and distorted projections
were incredible

'twas Jekyll for years
with only two hints of Hyde
until the great flip

the crazy thing is
the audiovisual
trail of evidence

from idealized
to put down and devalued
heart and soul got lost
