When a man Loves

A man believes that he loves a woman. She is his destiny, he is sure. What he does not know is that she does not love him. She just loves that he loves her so. She loves that he tries to save her soul after she herself has damned it, auctioned it and stifled it. And she knows she does not deserve him, but she feeds herself to him, gets him love-drunk and addicted. He is sure he can change her. No, not change her; shift her, guide her spirit. He does not know this endeavor spells his misery. He is fated to suffer with this woman he loves. She will ride him. He will help her chase her dreams to the ends of the earth until he realizes he cannot stop running and is being hounded by a nightmare.
