Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Over My Dead Body

You’ve warned me about the games you play
How you kiss girls and don’t call back
Don’t count on me to be your next victim
You sure know all the lines though

But you won’t get away with anything
You won’t be getting anything for free
I’ve seen you in action
Your game has been to just sit back
Expect it all without the least effort

You’re a human trap waiting for its prey
It’s all so damn familiar
You don’t even try to hide your game
It’s right out there in the open

For all those who choose not to be blind
Or foolishly take you on as a challenge
So don’t try to budge or nudge me
Or bother ever knocking at my door

Silent One November 17, 2017 at 2:13 PM Its a good thing there is a sign.. I know a few people like this.. sad.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest Line Gauthier November 17, 2017 at 10:31 PM Indeed, it's the ones without the signs that are dangerous. Thanks for your visit.
