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

'A snake coming out of its skin' -- Love that line. Really sums everything up. ~ gw

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............
