Rebound

A warning and a promise

This devilish angel is no fool
Admittedly it may be cruel
This game I now play
Contemplating when I will walk away

I now have you wrapped around my finger
Knowing that with you I will not linger
I told you from the start I would not stay
Though I enjoy your passionate embrace today

I chose you with my own intention
For now you do have my attention
Yet I promise that you will become broken
My truth has already been spoken

I will enjoy this thrilling ride
But it'd be best for you my words to abide
Listen to me and fully understand
That I will walk away with your heart in my hand

I enjoyed this poem to no end, and it inspired me to write a tiny sing-song gift poem for you using overlapping rhyme and 0/1/0/1/0/1/0/1 eight syllable meter which you may keep as your own: It sings:

Perfidious

Demonic angels are no fools.
Be careful of the games they play
for they don’t follow any rules.
They’ll take your heart and walk away.

Thank you kindly!

"Listen to me and fully understand
That I will walk away with your heart in my hand"
Chilling...
I love this, it reminded me of a song I heard once.

I like the flow and the word choice.
It was like a dance over words that left you bewildered at each step and unsure of what to come until the end when the lights and music suddenly went off and left you with a cold fear, or something like it.
The title says it all.
Well done!

Thank you so much, and I do love that song!

[Bluefire]

Me too.^^
You're welcome!

This is how some people play. And some people want to be played with this way. Very interesting poem.

[FlamingPhoenix]

Yeah I'll admit I've run across this scenario before and have even tried to play the game myself, but I'm one who sees others with my heart--so a game player I am not!

I know you aren't, if you were you would not write with so much passion in your words.

Phoenix, this is very assertive and powerful...almost manipulative. "I chose you for my own intention/for now you do have my attention" Very nice write, my friend!

[FlamingPhoenix]

Unfortunately for me--or maybe it's not unfortunate--I'm really not that kind of person--though I do believe I've met a few like this--I've tried to be this kind of person, but I can't be that heartless--it's just not in me.

:) That's good news! But it is fun to write like it sometimes! :)
