For Someone Whom I Know

For someone whom I know:
All the words, deeds and redundancies
Buried with memories,
Written in sheets alleviated
By time and amber ties
Disintegrating.

For someone whom I know:
The resurrected obscurities
Engulfed within my heart,
My soul and insecurity,
Sufficed by gall and bile
Retaliating.

For someone whom I know
Are these two words exhilarating:
"Misguided trust", gleaming
The heart with realizations
Of hefty betrayal
Obliterating.

Hi Amal,

Maybe I should put a comma separating lines 3 and 4 to make my point clearer.

For someone whom I know:
All the words, deeds and redundancies
Buried with memories (,)
Written in sheets alleviated
By time and amber ties
Disintegrating.
