Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

No Longer Interested In You

You never seemed to care during an earlier day.
Never would you ever even look my way.
All along, you said I wasn’t good enough.
Recently, you and your man faced times that were rough.
He cheated on you.  That can’t be denied.
Your spouse never told the truth.  He always lied.
Hubby had another woman waiting in the wings.
Between the two of you, you experienced terrible things.
Your ship is now sailing on an entirely new course.
You had to struggle through an egregious divorce.
Now you turn to me hoping to fill your void.
I am not interested because it's you I want to avoid.

Robert Pettit for Michael J Falotico's contest.

Robin Davis March 3, 2014 at 11:05 PM Robert Such very bitter and strong words. The pain you felt is clearly expressed in the "revenge" poem. Thanks for the great comment on my You Tube poem. No it didn't really happen, but probably would. I have never drank in my life.

L.Ruby Meyer March 8, 2012 at 7:28 AM oh how I understand these words Robert, and what people believe in only what "they" see? those who denonstrate their selfishness, by dictating when, and what we should be. not for me either ! beautifully said. x ruby
