Killers and Lies

a sharp pang of jealousy or realizations.. take it how you want

Oh she’s affectionate,

She values all, even things,

She mentions you when she begins.

“She is the best”, you said,

Oh, best don’t leave you for the rest.

 

Oh she’s kempt,

She values you and spends time,

She’s a better sport than I’m.

“She spends her weekends with me”, you said,

Oh, after cancelling your plans.

 

Oh she’s humble,

She expresses gratitude to all,

She doesn’t see difference in big or small.

“She helps me through my trauma”, you said,

Oh, by creating a more dangerous one.

 

Oh she’s intellect,

She loves science, she fits so well,

There’s nothing she can’t excel.

“She was better”, you said,

Oh , that’s visible.

 

Oh she’s perfect,

beautiful and cool,

Just realising I’m such a fool.

“She’ll never leave me”, you say

Oh, did she not?

 

Oh she’s noble,

She appreciates every thing,

There’s nothing wrong with her.

“She is my heart”, you said,

Oh, hearts don’t leave you heartbroken.

 

Oh she’s unforgettable,

She is the one for you,

She always looks after you in your reds and blues.

“She isn’t toxic or possessive”, you said,

Oh, that’s why she left you with a dagger up your chest.

 

Oh she’s rapturous,

She’s adventurous and fearless,

She maybe doesn’t have to kill us.

“Don’t kill me” you said,

Oh, she does have a contagious smile.

 

 

Author's Note

i do love the last line, adds a tint of mystery, maybe the person was contemplating on their past deeds

Like Jane Austen says "We are all fools in love." I like the style of this poem, it shows how people in love deny all practicality and truth just to remain in love. well done! :)

love shows the best of the love and after love shows the flaws... thanks

I found myself nodding throughout this well written poem as I agreed with the overall message about fools and love and the insects that enrapture us.

[Secretpoet]

the perfect interpretation of this poem really..

[emmajoygreen]

Life doesn't only skim pebbles across still waters but manages to catapult boulders from a distance, -
drown thoughts and actions out of sight, mess with the senses, mess with the heart.

As you say, in fact,

''Oh she’s rapturous, She’s adventurous and fearless, She maybe doesn’t have to kill us. “Don’t kill me” you said, Oh, she does have a contagious smile'

Perhaps the supposed fools are the fooled without armour.

[Secretpoet]

I totally agree with you, and thank you so much!!

Some people are blind when it comes to love, and then they become a cropper. At my age, I have seen it time and time again. Once bitten though, you don’t forget. Meaningful words Secretpoet.
