Kelli White Poet Carpe Diem

The King

Once you were my King my true 
Hearts' desire of love unending fire
Your awkward touch of unemotional
Cold unfettered one way bogged as if a mire
Yet I held on hand outstretched 
Heartstrings yours a puppet for play
Tears I cried laughter shadowed over
Darkness hid all at night until the day
Had I but known different love 
Would you have sheltered me 
Watered and groomed me loved 
And caressed me and gently as a tree
But I fear my heart is to far gone 
For our lifes' plan has been played
You are a King and I a mere remnant of
What was your Queen and now laid
I gave of my virtue my most treasured 
Valued gem and you took it like a man
And now I am like the rest you conquered 
Valueless chaste woman wondering this land
Bravo! The King has struck again. 
Give his belt another Notch
Helter skelter Lords and Ladies
The King has stolen another Crotch.

I had a friend who used to call himself The King. He thought he was smarter than everyone else. Though I was not involved with him I thought of those who were

Daniel Turner March 10, 2016 at 6:11 AM Kelli, Feeling used is a terrible feeling for everyone. We have all been lured into a web at some point. Count your blessings you have seen the light and now move on to find real love. Sad write but technically a good write. Glad to see you back .
