Love Bombing

They blow you up 
To let you down
Make you feel love
When being clowned

Won’t be denied
They’ll draw you close
Promises of sky
And pots of gold

They’ll look so kind
And really they’re not
Playing with mind
Toying with heart

This may start fun
Won’t end well 
Love bombing bum
Is really for sale

'Love bombing bum:' What a hilarious moniker, Karen! Ever hear the song 'Cathy's Clown,' by the Everly Bros? It's from the 1950's. It' similar to this poem, except it's the male who's getting pantsed in the song. Cheers, Gershon

I looked up the song and it is familiar. lol thanks for sharing. I was born in the 60s so it’s not a song I heard growing up.
