Mama Bear Poet Free verse

Pretty Nothing

You were such a pretty package
Utterly appealing
Every part of your cover was beautiful
Too bad the inside of the package was empty
Nothing inside to fill the void
You had no emotions to offer to me
What a loss for both of us

Susan Gentry December 7, 2015 at 8:12 PM So easy to be blinded by appearances and talk... sooner or later it all falls apart. Written very well and many can relate I'm sure.

Cona Adams December 1, 2015 at 8:32 AM You are the smart one, to see through the false front. He is the one who will ultimately suffer alone. You go, girl!

Jan Allison November 27, 2015 at 10:32 AM Oh Mama Bear this is sad but it is what is on the inside of a person that counts often a pretty outer can reveal a hollow shell inside:-( hugs Jan Mama Bear November 27, 2015 at 10:35 AM No matter how old we get people can fool us with their packaging Thanks for the visit and also for the Christmas email.
