We Must Part

You play with my emotions 
Make fuchsia fun of my devotion
You only teal take never give
Your love is fake not true or real

At first you were attentive 
Love bombing not defensive 
You slowly grew like a black sin
A snake coming out it’s skin

You want me to stay close
So you can swallow me whole
Your lies are like liquid gold
Shiny and full of false hope

Life is to short to live somber sad
In tomb with green groom gone mad
For your heart is dark and untrue
We must part I’m leaving blue you

You are like the Scarlet Pimpernel. Sometimes I see you, sometimes I don't. Still loved your poem.

Let him 'ave it, Poetically beat his unworthy green groom self. I vented in a similar rhyme-beat-heat about a 'mistake' I was with for too long, it's called Goodbye Fault - I think you'd really like it. If this is true, I know writing the poem felt good, just like mine did, to me. I enjoyed this very much ... CayCay

I enjoyed reading your powerful "We Must Part" write. Sometimes we need to say, it is over and move on. Not always easy but for the best. "Good Luck" if for a contest. Have a wonderful day/weekend writing away............
