Lovesick

A Poem by Aehr

Blazing fire in my eyes,

A dagger in my hand

They tried to explain me

But I failed to understand

I bat my eyelashes before them

I try to act well behaved and good

Little do they know, that I'm not like that

It's something I don't do, even though I should

Death is so much quicker

So much easier, than dying slow

His sight is nothing but poison

And it's a harder way to go

He toyed with my heart, and killed it

I was lovesick, and unaware

He lied about being there for me

That he would always love and care

He's a trickster, a wicked soul

You can't really trace his lies

Love is his game, and he's a player

And his talks are his only disguise

He played with my heart for a while

And then he flew off for another one

He tried to play a game with her as well

But I found out before he even begun

Before I burst into tears again

I just want to let you know

That I love you so much

I don't have the courage to let you go

No fire in my eyes

No dagger in my hand

Just salty glistening tears

And I still don't understand

Author's Note

This one is more story-like. It's about a girl who falls in love. The guy says that he loves her as well, but turns out to be a trickster and is having another affair with another girl. So this girl (the one who's writing) tries to kill herself. But then she shoves the thought away, and breaks down crying.
Might sound like a vain idea when it's explained, but tell me what you think about it please?

The poem was self- explanatory and I could feel her pain. Some men /boys can push us to the edge but then our self love takes over and we eventually see them for who these players are. Good write.
