How Dare You

How dare you brazenly walk
As my every dream you stalk
In the hallways of my mind
Where my heart you must find
Like this is your place
You just simply pace
Free in your domain
You drive me insane
Shoulders set back
You’re on the attack
Head held high
For you know why
You walk down this hall
You know I‘ll come when you call
And you SMILE
How VILE
HOW DARE YOU!

How dare you look at me like that
Like we’ve made a love pact
So smug and so sure
Your pride I endure
You make me swoon
Lovesick under the moon
You make my legs go weak
Put the color in my cheek
When your pass my way
The sun shines in my day
And I don’t know why
I might fall over and die
To get a taste of paradise
With just a look in your eyes
HOW DARE YOU!

How dare you play with me
Like some squishy toy
You tease and annoy
Bend me all out of shape
And yet you won’t stop the game
For you have no shame
You go on and squeeze
Just being a tease
Every day it’s the same
You're the one to blame
HOW DARE YOU!

How dare you 
Hook me with words
When you know full well
Your words cast a spell
And I can’t even breathe
When my heart starts to read
The little hidden love note
Oh, how you must gloat
To sense I’m starting to melt
With every power felt
You now turn on the heat
Make my demise complete
HOW DARE YOU!!!!

How dare you
Trick me to rant and rave
Make me feel brave
To spill out my heart
Of which you want no part
But you want to hear
How I hold you dear
And so you entice
Add so much spice
To all that you write
And I’m plunged into night
A poor helpless soul
Who’s too honest to hold
The love tight in my heart
And so you start
The turn my heart’s crank
And relish your prank
Make me march straight to you
Knowing what you will do
Give me a love peck
And leave me a wreck
HOW DARE YOU!!!!

Being aware of the actions of this one, we can very much see who is really in control - you. And this is powerful, passionate and oh so angry! I love your stings of words. Always, Laura

That was the whole point, dear Laura. I wanted to give the impression of being in control when in fact....I'm weak. At least my mouth can shoot off and give the impression of strength, eh? Thanks for the visit...and the lovely posts! Hugs

Wowsa this is a strong piece from a strong woman. In the end the woman holds the power. You are the bomb, exploding on the page.

I don't know if you'd call someone with a marshmallow heart a strong woman, but I like it! :) Yes, I am a time bomb ticking away...beware!

You seem to feel strongly about whoever this guy is. This is a slam poem and I like it

Thanks, PJ...I did have fun writing this one. Once a person starts to get overconfident...time to come down a notch or two, yes? ;) That is...if you can manage it without falling all over yourself! Thanks for the visit.
