Lover and a Hater

You drive me out of my mind Sexy but you can't be kind It's so darn infuriating Maybe we shouldn't be dating You destroy me line by line Saying "Who cares he'll be fine!" Why don't you just let me be instead of controlling me Stop treating me like a toy I am not a stupid boy Someone out there will love me I am lovable times three Your darkness can't eclipse this See my light be the witness I'm the duck you're the water pour down hateful daughter You will just run down my back I'm prepared for your attack look long it's the last you'll see I'll bet you won't forget me! Poem about judgmental hateful people. For Brenda Chiri's contest Written for contest on November 7th 2017

GREAT job, Richard. I like this one just using simple couplets! Especially enjoyed the duck and water analogy.

Reminded me of those mismatched relationships it seems we all had to suffer through. Thankfully way back in the past. Best of luck in the contest, Richard!

This is a fantastic write my friend! You have hit the nail on the head for this Contest, a very hateful woman trying to control the man...but is unsuccessful, thank goodness! It works the other way around, my sister got into a relationship with a controlling man, and he held her in the relationship much longer than she wanted to, finally she got out of it...had to get a restraining order on him too! I surely loved reading your incredible piece this morning! What a Remarkable poem, Great work!!
