Rotten

Valerie

 

It’s like you know my every move.

Do you like to see me hurt?

Do you know that you’re the reason

my body is decaying?

You make me feel rotten.

Just another one from the bunch

that went too bad to eat.

 

I hope there was a moment

when you truly loved me,

so I don’t have to pretend

like everything I think about

isn’t the same in your brain.

Because the things you said

were so real to me.

 

My nightmares are unconventional.

Every night

I just have to watch you

fall in love with someone else.

In my dreams you look at her

with love in your eyes

And it hurts to know

you’ve never looked at me

that way.

    The note was so sweet dear poet
    Agreed one shouldn’t let their dignity go away
    In true love, it beats with dignified self
    Well crafted dear poet

    Keep penning
    Quite emotive and strong words
    Thanks for sharing

      feistiness, worded
      self-assured, poetic
      and that's just, your author's notes...
      thanks for sharing
