Don't think my silence,
Means that you have won my heart,
You're not worth my breath.
He says that he loves you, but he can never say why.
He says he only has eyes for you, but turns and looks every
time another girl walks by.
You think that you love him so much that you can hardly breathe.
Not realizing it is because he has pressed up against your neck, his knee.
He says that he loves you and wants to spend his lifetime with you, the
true love that he has found.
Yet, how many times do you find yourself alone, calling everywhere for
him and he is nowhere around.
You keep trying to pretend that you are happy, but your friends know you
can't be with him, treating you so bad.
How many times has he forgotten special occasions, and you smile at them
saying no problem when they can tell that you're mad.
He keeps saying how much he loves you and he wants to marry you, but
now is not the right time.
Knowing every time he says this, you get a feeling that one day he is
going to walk out and leave you behind.
I know how much you love him, but the question is does he love you?
Cause if he did, then why does he keep treating you the way you allow him to?
They're as swift as a lightning bolt,
Just a stern gaze—gazelles revolt.
A fleeting shadow in the night,
All prey leap off in frantic fright.
Stalking prey is their known special skill,
A silent whisper, born to kill.
Seventy miles per hour they race,
Yet still they blaze with fiery pace.
Their claws, a nightmare to all flesh,
Though they prefer their meals served fresh.
Still, no carcass resists their bite;
Eating it raw is their birthright.
Their playtime's always full of fun,
Pleasure is theirs in the long run.
They enjoy life as sly cheaters—
The reason they are called cheetahs.
Give it to the rain,
all of your hurt and your pain.
Watch as it belittles under a clap of thunder,
all of your hurt, disdained.
Scream it to the sky,
make it heard.
Let him know how much it hurt when you went through his phone.
His promises, like fallen leaves, scattered by the wind.
Look to the sea, give it the stare you gave him when you found out he was leading you on as if you were some game.
Listen to your heart, let it hurt,
but never let it change who you are for worse.
Listen to your mind,
even if your heart isn't ready to leave him behind,
Remember how much loving him hurt.
She sits across
The dinner table
Watching as her husband
Slowly eats the dinner
She had prepared him
For hours
There’s not even a
Thank you
Escape from his mouth
She mentions the name
Ruth
And watches as he chokes
On his dinner
Gulps down nearby water
So he doesn’t choke to death
Late at night
He attempts to reassure
His wife that
Ruth and him are friends
And nothing more
Yet his late night texting
Raises her suspicion
She lives in denial
For a little while
Then begins to
Regret
She’d ever married him
While she lays in bed
And worries
He’s filled with carelessness
Closes his eyes
And
Dreams about Ruth
Around around around iwe igo
more fake poems fraudsters show
autistic infamy
the ability to see patterns and queues
who do you think you really fool?
other than old farmers who do not care
his chickens cluck as much as you click
ai ai woah
ai ai No!
Bonus Verse added completely free for your reading pleasure!
And I
have to say
no more Jaywalking
wheely stop it
simply obey
The Cheater
Do you know the pain you caused
To all your loved ones, big and small
You did not care who you hurt
You did not know your wife's real worth
Was the grass greener on the other side
The mountain I had to climb was way too high
Left alone here to cope
While you and her considered me a dope
The darkness in my head was unreal
I actually thought, I would never heal
With time and help from all good friends
I am bouncing back again
So now I am happy once again
Have found love and lots of new friends
So off you go with your piece on the side
Her fate will be (like mine) its only a matter of time.
Stop watching my story and start watching yours
the ones where shes beautiful and the one you adore
when you take pictures with her in matching sets
but your hearts on my insta make me think you have regrets
you cant have your cake and eat me too
so i guess ill be the one to see this through
with a simple remove follower, block and unfriend
ill put your gazing eyes and adultery to an end
cause you flaunt who you are and all you guys do
but i would have never been that girl to you
you never gave me the same opportunity or chance
never gave my plus size body a second glance
second class citizen in your firls class world
go like her story, she is your girl.
Guiltless cheater
restrain your pleasures,
give some and be selfless;
don't walk on water
to show confidence
and hide your pretense!
What was yours
will be taken away,
from you eventually;
you live for the moment!
You leave hearts
bleeding and shivering...
giving no thought
if they get hurt!
Guiltless cheater
lust is a temporary delight
sought without insight;
love can be as eternal
as the Heavens that enthrall!
Change your behavior
and go after that true woman
who has deeply shown
her immutable devotion;
is my advice irrational?
The tables keep on turning.
The wheels keep turning.
Eyes that are burning.
A vision of deception
a heart left mourning.
All of that is over
waking up to peaceful stress-free mornings.
No longer worrying about lies, infidelity,
or any type of deceit.
Discerning and
intuition spoke the truth
overturning.
Karma will soon
be returning.
This is the truth and a warning!
The tables will begin turning!
wife beater
cheater
a man whom commits domestic violence
against his spouse
or long term female partner in house
Physical abuse by husband or male companion No good cheater
Extreme jealousy
Possessiveness unpredictability
spiting hitting baggy pants
lying cheating man
prideful, denying
bounties full of dissentient
misogynist terrorist
hypocrite demonic
Wide brim hat sugar daddy
a spoiled mama's boy anti-feminist
a man whose prejudiced against women
strongly despises and dislikes
a rolling stone, leaving no address he rome

For No 1257 New Poem Only Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Brian Strand
In shadows deep, they weave their cunning guise
With silver words and false, beguiling eyes
Their smiles, a mask, concealing hidden schemes
Deceptive hearts, where selfish ego secrets scream
A puppeteer of trust and empathy
Beware the charm that hides a wicked plan
For in their web, they will steal your soul
Let wisdom's light can pierce deceit's dark veil
Expose the lies, and truth at last shall prevail
Shine the light, on the darkness of silent beasts
I Write
Less words
in a windowless room
no use for my eyes
Humidity suffocating
what is left of me
I hear the silence of evil
poverty a state of mind
a shiny gold coin
Turns a small man
into a rich thief
Laughter the cause of death
How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways.
I loathe thee so that I throw up on sight
Of thee, and when my ire is at a height,
I grit my teeth and plot revenge for days.
My loathing for thee, cheater, takes its toll.
Thy empty claims of innocence, I scorn.
I caught thee thrice! My trust was from me torn.
To see thee broke and hungry is my goal.
I loathe thee with the passion I once spent
On sweet romance when I thought thee sublime.
I’d like to see thee living in a tent.
Indulge me as I tell thee one more time
I'd gladly pony up my last red cent
To have thee maimed if mugging weren’t a crime!
Who cheats himself of
even bitter tears of defeat
