Charmed by You

Why did you choose to charm her if your intentions were to harm her?
Loving you made her blind to the signs.
And your heartless crimes.

Burning steady and sturdy bridges.
Stabbing her heart,leaving deep incisions.
Now her canvas is covered in scars.

She ignored everyone's heartfelt desperate warnings.
As a result you left her mind ,body and soul storming.

Charmed , Charmed by you.
Everlastingly marked.
You were her muse.

Dear Laconic. I liked how you made the words dance to meaningful ending.
"Charmed , Charmed by you.
Everlastingly marked.

I liked the above lines and we do need our muses. Keep us hoping and dreaming. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Thank you... And without hope we have nothing. In my opinion.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree and you are welcome my friend.

This is gut wrenching. I've been there. All of us have. But some are cruel about it. That's not right. You did well capturing this.

[Laconic Meraki]

It's not a good feeling. Very confusing. And hurtful.

[Betty Hermelee]

Boy was this woman betrayed, over and over. Why didn't she leave the so-called one-sided relationship? The words flow and strong, intended to really capture the scene. I really like the line>>"now her canvas is covered in scars..." Well done!

Because her love ran too deep. And at 1 point - she was willing to fight and or die for what she loved. A level of insanity now looking back.

[Laconic Meraki]

With a strong passion of course.

[Betty Hermelee]

Sometimes that happens and it won't stop or can't stop

[Laconic Meraki]

Yes. Its a battle within. Your heart , mind, body and soul.

Love is blind.
You see what your eyes want to see (Madonna quote?)
Lots of clichés, and wise sayings give voice to the same lesson your speaker seemed to have had to learn the hard way. I can certainly relate.

[Laconic Meraki]

I didn't know that quote by Madonna but I do now. Thanks for that. Weird how things like that happen lol. Write what you feel then later on see the similarities in other writings or songs. And yes, I seem to learn the hard way.

Your poem reminds me of the various times thru-out the years when 2 poets at the cafe become infatuated, each being a muse for the other, posting poems they believe are subtle or symbolic, but are actually blaring signs that there's something flaming betw the 2. And we all watch for the inevitable crash, which can often show up as nasty-grams disguised as poems. Sorry I got off on that. Your poem is very provocative! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Laconic Meraki]

Hmmm.. Love to hear more about it.

Sometimes it seems we can be charmed by being their plaything, for a while. But what then? They grow bored and move on to a new game or we play to their beat. Been there, done it and now play to my own beat, where I only let nice people play now. There'll be one along any minute. I'm sure of it.
Or maybe it's just safer to play solitaire and know you'll rarely win but never lose 😀

[Laconic Meraki]

I don't play games. Not intentionally.
I know how it feels to be a piece to a game you're unaware of. I'd never want to project that onto someone else ya know? But yes love...i get your drift.😊 Thanks for reading.

some people are so driven for the need for adoration they forget the costs it takes from there quarry and become so entwined in there need to feed it they become jaded:(

[Laconic Meraki]

I reckon it's all about perception.
I see where you'd see it that way now that you pointed it out lol.
But this poem was intended to be about a woman who was willing to die for the man she loved. A soul tie thing...

This really sounds like someone was backstabbed or betrayed by someone they held dearly. I particularly loved the line "Burning steady and sturdy bridges", as it implies that they were very close and the trust and bond was broken. Very beautiful and very emotional!

[Laconic Meraki]

Yes. Definitely...
Thanks for reading!

[Laconic Meraki]

Yes. Definitely...

Powerful write. Wonderfully put. Tyfs

[Laconic Meraki]

Thank you 💜

[Neville]

... Your words suggest a deep and unexpected hurt .. caused by another in whom you placed much trust .. either that, or you have been here before .... well penned my friend :)

[Laconic Meraki]

Most definitely one of the two...
Very hurt.
Thanks for reading.
