She Says, He Says

Relationship gone bad!

Two desolate hearts,

living together, yet apart.

Entangled with fake vows.

Imaginations run to mischief.

Lives discord and empty.

 

She says her heart is

a wash board soaped up

with his lies.

Stains of past memories

set in for life.

 

He says he's been pulled

through the ringer

and hung out to dry.

Fresh air of resentment

fragrance his body.

 

Two repeled hearts,

living together, yet apart.

Jig-saw puzzle scattered

about, reflecting their broken lives.

Everyday is an addition of the past.

 

She says he's an invasion

of unwelcome attitude.

Acid leaving a sour taste,

and bitterness chasing humiliation.

 

He says his brain waves

are flustered by her feminine rights.

Blame of all mistakes bandage

his point of views.

 

Two mimic hearts,

living together, yet apart,

mocking the other's behavior.

Nonchalant grins stab their souls.

 

She says he's an alcoholic

an open bottle of abuse.

An exhaust pipe giving

her fumes of displeasure.

 

He says she is diluted

with diminishing beauty.

Elastic figure that doesn't

bounce back to size.

 

Two exploited hearts,

living together, yet apart.

Seams that once was joined

lays raveled on the floor,

because of....

 

She says

He says

nice poem!! lovely images that get the emotions across. The words... i feel the resentment.

[Jess.]

It's hard to believe that people can go from being so in love, to almost being disgusted with each other, but it happens, and I had a front row seat when it happened to my parents. Nicely wiritten.

Something I have seen happen to many he said, she said...as time goes on for most couples, instead of letting love grow, it slowly fades...blaming each other isnt the answer.
You captured well this sad but true piece.

This was a good write. I enjoyed it, but I think you could make it more open and honest. Just a thought. I still enjoyed it.

[Poetic Beauty]

This is a sad tale of two hearts that have grow distant and instead of talking to each other to try to fix the issues that are going on the love keeps growing colder as more words of disdain are uttered.

[Becky C Strukamp]
