For the "A” Challenge

Antithesis

Behold my antithesis,
nemesis,

destructor and controller of my dreams

For he is nothing that I want
Yet everything I need

A painful contradiction
Welcomed in my heart

A discrepancy that tears
my mind and soul apart

A victim of inconsistency,
I’m lost in love with him

Behold my antithesis,
he fulfills my ev’ry whim

the obvious question I would have, is if you believe in the fact of your nemesis, and your in its control, your identification of that control lets the reader know you recognize that.  So is nemesis denial, or is there a dual meaning in its definition.  

Just a thought, and a question I couldnt answer.

Thanks for your responses to this poem.

BigMike,

Thanks for your question(s). I am doing a bit of analysis of the situation and myself today... This poem was a snapshot of my emotions and feelings in one moment.  The poem just flowed from me without intense introspection.  It just felt good to release the words.  But a big thanks to you! Your questions make think...a very good thing, my friend.

You did a good job taking a word and running with it...
