Cruel and Unusual Punishment

Loving you is cruel and unusual punishment.

When I met you, I should have started running to a tent.

I simply can't handle it. This  is cruel and unusual punishment.

You dropped the bomb on me and I cannot pick up the pieces.

Your love to me was like Red Hots covered in Reese's Pieces.

After I got the sweet peanut buttery treat then the mouth

Of the river of my love got hot from the other layer that

Tastes and feels like the cinnamony Red Hots. It's no longer

Like Folgers it feels good to the last drop but I don't want it

And it want to stop. I feel like calling the cops because loving

You is a crime and it's taking too much time to end this

Love it's cruel and unusual punishment.

Stopping by to say hello and let you I enjoyed reading your poetry today Nicole. I am in the process of packing up to move in a couple weeks so not much time for one on one. I will be stopping by when I can. Have a wonderful weekend and keep your pen flowing. Love and blessings, Carol
