Libertine Lover

you say I am beautiful
and I hate you

perverse and twisted half truths
rolling off your forked tongue

I see you for what you are
I see what you see

a deluge of sick images
playing in your mind

I will not be your conquest in an alley
or breathe into your ear
and let you pull my hair

I will not cure your every ill
with my touch
or lie and make a man
of the filth that stands before me

I loathe you
I will not be your saving grace
or be left in the dark
after satisfying your fantasy

I am not beautiful
and I will never be yours

this is good. the "muse" suddenly realizing she's merely an object, usually of perverse drives - and the awareness sickens her. This almost has the tone of "being beautiful is a curse" but it gets saved by the de-idealizing of herself as the cure or conquest climaxing (excuse the pun) with the line "I am not beautiful" and the following feminist proclamation "I will never be yours" - but she is specifically adressing "dirty old men" - not young handsome suitors, or geniuses, so maybe a part two is in order lol actually, on second thought, I think a sympathic poem from the perspective of the "perv" would be more interesting...

Damn, a passionate rant. Almost a stalker feel to the pervert character that the narrator speaks about. Good way to convey the thoughts of the object of the desire!

Tell it like it is... you are very wise... when I see old men quawk at young ladies I shake my head in disgust... I love the brutal reality you project in this piece.

Nice!! A very good poignant message to the selfish ones who only care for their twisted fantasies, love is not about wanting to ruin someone, but about wanting the best for someone!
