Anyone

peto

A non believer given mass

Snakes cover every blade of grass 

When juggling with my heart of glass 

You dropped it on the floor 

 

The shards you buried in the mud

Ripped at the hands dispersing blood 

A missile by the name of scud

Is heading for my door 

 

My drawbridge down you cleared the moat 

Adorning beauty's overcoat 

You grabbed my feelings by the throat 

And killed them off once more 

 

You took it all and left me there 

To stand alone without a care 

The weight became too much to bare

My soul is what you tore

 

The danger signs were all too clear 

Is anyone who they appear 

The day of reckoning's drawing near 

And I don't know the score

    Well penned peto......


    "You took it all and left me there

    To stand alone without a care

    The weight became too much to bare

    My soul is what you tore"

      Just a phenomenal write, Stevie! I love how you can keep the last line in each stanza to rhyme with the next. Once again, you have presented us with a sad poem but it's lovely how you show it to us. "When juggling my heart of glass; you dropped it on the floor" So descriptive.....I've had that happen a time or two. A very relatable and fantastic poem......once again!!

          Beware the fickle lover, they dress themselves in sincerity, but in reality they are disengenuous to a fault. Exquisitely captured in this verse my friend.

              Extra descriptive. Evokes a pathos in the reader a sortof a reluctant kinship

                It's hard to trust people when so many seem to have ulterior motives.

                A quote by Goethe I have to remind myself of daily:

                'As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.'

                And you described just that perfectly... Because had we simply trusted our first instincts...

                Highly relatable write with a perfect flow

                • peto

                  Thank you very much sage
                  I totally agree
                  It all begins with self trust/love
                  Truly appreciate your support
