I Am Not Your Babe

You boldly kiss me through the phone When slumber denies you and you feel alone And then, when the moment is bygone You are a stranger at dawn You shyly get me leis wrapped in glitter Day and night you read my updates on Twitter And then, when we fight You drift like a remote kite You tell me that you feel love On Viber, your stickers confess I am your precious Dove And then, when there are times of burns You taunt hard, leaving me in mourns You call me your babe when the lights are dim Fully hypnotized and lurk at no other Kim And then, when the weather takes an ugly shape You become egotistic and beautiful memories off my shelf, you rape You address me each time with a pet name Like it was scrabble or some other sexy game And then, when there is no sign of French crepe Indifference becomes the name of the garment in which you drape

Hi Rohini...Seems like here we have a case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde! Time to 'eliminate' one of them:) Regards // paul

A very sad but beautiful written poem, your emotions are crystal as clear and that is what poetry is about, I m really sorry for you if that guy breaks your heart but don t worry, you ll one day find a person so loving that you don t even have to remember him, God had already pick our partners for us, even before we were born, we just need to wait till the right moment, and when that person came, their will be no one more beautiful and lovely that him, mqy God bless you

Thank you Niall; "You become egotistic and beautiful memories off my shelf, you rape" Sorry about the ambiguity mate; but the line is meant to skew towards beautiful memories 'forcefully' taken away from me- 'shelf'- my mental library of events. :) I am safe, thank you; a sheer case of arrogance and unrequited love. I shall keep the hugs from Ireland in that case!
