Mohamed Adel Poet Free verse

Devils of Doubt

1
I sit with her on the river bank
on the green grass
on a summer day afternoon
we sit under the trees, in the shade
enjoying the breeze
2
then she reaches her hand to hold mine
and be surprised that she is telling me
while looking in my eyes, and in hers that glow 
"i love you"
3
" i love you"
she said to me
" i love you"?!
why did she say to me
" i love you"?!
why me?!
4
I'm not the most handsome man
nor the strongest
nor the smartest
nor the richest
so why did she then say to me
" i love you"?!
5
is she deceiving me?!
but why is she deceiving me?!
to have fun?!
to have a thrilling story
to tell her friends
so all of them can laugh at that idiot
that thought somebody like her
would love him?!
6
the blood is boiling in my veins
and my mind is on fire
then i look at her, while I'm igniting
while I'm burning
and I'm about even to....
slap her on her face!!
and tell her that i uncovered her plan
that I'm not an idiot!
7
then i look at her
and find that same glow in her eyes
and she says to me again softly
" i love you"
8
so between actions i see 
and intentions i deem
i remain confused
hesitant
doubtful
not knowing with what to answer
9
then i wonder at the devils of doubt
and how can them ruin even
the happiest moments in life
