Deception

Deception

A Poem by M Slaughter
"

If it makes it easier on her, then it's worth it to lie.

"

Don't be so quick,

Honey.

You aren't so slick,

Darling.

Think you know it all,

Baby?

Well check before you fall,

Sugar.

Maybe it was all a game,

Sweetheart.

Wouldn't that be a shame,

Dollface?

What if I was playing you--

There was never love, it's true--

Now--just--leave--like I know you wanted to.

Don't--worry--about--me I tried to hurt you.

Now--you--can--be free, no regrets at all.

You--can--ignore--me as I fall

Deeper.

 

Deeper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deeper.

I thought this was going to be about something else and of course in away it is about love.
This is fantastic as it shows the strong front we put forth while underneath we are anything but strong
I love how she gives him every reason to leave but I believe really she wants him to stay
a game so many of us plays~ Excellent write

I loved the flow and the message, how it just seemed to roll of my tounge as I read it aloud. Beautiful poem.

Loved it!
Amazing rhythm, I loved the feel and how cynical it was. I also liked your different choices for terms of endearment and how you twisted their meaning.

Ohh this is a great piece!....
I love the sarcastic atmosphere and how it shows the betrayal of love and the style of the poem is great....
Keep up the awesome work!! =D

I love how you formatted the word "deeper", and how you used different names to sort of show your sarcasm.
