I have a secret

This is about someone who used me and I had a secret that I'm sure he didn't want anyone to know.....Oops, oh well ;)

Why do I satisfy my desires,

With cheaters and liars?

Thinking I need them to want me,

Yet memories of them haunt me,

Giving me no satisfaction at all.

 

Why do I fight it tooth and nail,

When each fight I fail?

Throwing me deeper in the dirt,

surrounded by my anger, blood and hurt,

Further down in the pits I fall.

 

My body is through being used,

It's scarred and abused,

My heart no longer can stand it,

When soemone kicks, hits and brands it,

And throws it around like a rag doll.

 

I'm no longer available to employ,

I won't offer my pain for your joy,

You are no longer welcome, you have outlived your stay,

So do yourself a favor and walk quickly away,

And I won't tell everyone that you're small.

 

Author's Note

Just something I was toying with. The ending makes me laugh ;)

I suggest you become as discriminating in men as
you are in your writing.

You have excellent taste in writing, your poem is
pretty, intelligent, gifted and insightful.
Your subject characters are uncouth, stupid and
mean. They did not just happen on the scene, you
chose them.
I suggest you find a good book on men.

For the poem --- 100 %

Teehee! I LOVE the ending. I have used that method of revenge more than once. What can I say, I'm vindictive. Anywho...

I like how all of the last lines rhyme, and your similes are cute too. The idea of "employment" in the final stanza seems to emphasize how cheap some relationships can be, especially with "cheaters and liars". This is a simple yet well-written poem that I'm sure many readers can and will relate to. Well done!
