Conquest

I sat back resplendently,
Ignoring all the prevalent signs,
of you coming along,
Claiming what was rightfully mine.

Backed by an army of our memories,
Through pathways only you could find,
Creating a fortress for yourself,
And occupying the whole of my mind.

I tried maintaining illusions of control,
And valiantly all my senses fought,
Till you conquered everything,
My hopes,my dreams,my thoughts.

And now I stand vanquished,
Having relinquished all I once knew,
Yet failing to accept my only failing,
That I always belonged to you.
