You call for my wellness,
when you have indulged my sickness,
you love my pools of disease,
you let your feet wade in it,
then,
inexplicably you withdraw,
wanting a fairy tale
that can only be granted from the likes of disney
(only Grimm fairy tales reside here, brother)(and I inhale)
...as I try to escape...
how do you leave me drowning in this sludge?
all I have ever wanted is your love, your acceptance,
yet it is shoveled down my throat like radiation
and the after-effects are not very charming
I have played
and I am losing,
this is my desperate attempt
at the doomed lover's grasp,
to not be left alone,
can you acquiesce me?
just this once?

Although the entire write is deep and moving
this stanza holds so much depth and meaning... profound I guess is the word I am searching for.
It fits perfectly in your write.
A great write that is full of imagery that plays like a video.
