Looking for her self-esteem behind every zipper in town

2012 has blessed me with new vision.

He's awfully chivalrous for carrying such casual intent

as his blend of canny ways are filled with filthy desire.

 A finicky facade leaving room for discontent

 yet the helpless girl can't help but admire

meanwhile, to herself, she's being a liar. 

 Could she deny this mans selfish pursuance?

Her misinterpretations are inevitable

a genitive surefire. 

He'll maintain his obvious avoidance for exclusivity

she'll claim to have been perpetually blinded by his witty ways

 but she induced her own misfire. 

Those eyes of his will misconstrue

betting on the fact she'll negate her own savvy finesse

that self proclaimed ability to see through.  

Inevitably he'll be praised and built up as a statue

 like his soul

he'll be mended of stone,

in the interim

she'll be gazing pitifully 

into shades of blue.

Wow! I am loving this write. How I have missed you is beyond me. I somehow stumbled by here and then found this work of... sadly i have been one of these... .. ..this work of art.

Well said. Says so much in a rather "hold it far out in front and hold your nose" sort of way. Loved it. Truth lives here. Hopefully out blunders serve to make us wiser. Hope so. Otherwise I' just a dumb chick with a list of stupid mistakes in my past. Thanks for this.

OMG you had me at the title!!! I actually clapped and laughed out loud when I read that. Love it!!!

Hmmm...to me, it's plain old passion and forbidden fruit both ways. A tale we could all tell, eh? IMO, you've done it proud.

Good write!

This is interesting. I couldn't pick a favorite part because the poem is consistently good from beginning to end. Wonderful work; it's beautiful and tragic. The imagery is rich and your work just oozes emotion.

Great write!

I think this could be read both ways - to me it brings to mind immediately "virgin/w***e" syndrome... although it is about the guy. Interestingly written!

[Ian H Morrison]

still love this great

[Dr. Wood ?]

great title to a great poem...Being a MAN, I suppose could take issue... But thankfully we are not all the same and i am old enough to know that this could also ring true if the roles were reversed

Just sounds like a typical bloke to me. If he's not in bed by ten he should go home!

finicky facade!!!oh yes, I clapped while reading this writing, love the language and how it exploded over my tongue while reading it allowed. Very nice, very very nice.. saving this piece of art in my library!

I was like that. In my previous relationship. Thank God I got over it.

Haha the title made me chuckle, I had to read it out to my sister for how much I liked the title. This is a great poem. Quite amusing! :)
