The Cruelest of All Bed Partners

Neville

The Cruelest of All Bed Partners

 

Just look at me, why don’t you

I am not broken,

okay, maybe bruised a touch

and disillusioned ..

So why does it still hurt so much ..

 

Just look at me, why don’t you

I am not a token,

but maybe, an accessory perhaps

and though not broken, should you

dare to look, you just may see the cracks ..

 

Just look around, why don’t you

I am not joking ..

Reality is a cruel, conniving thief ..

Once I thought you perfect

but truth and time, stole that belief ..

 

Just look and see, why don’t you,

forget the games

and delusions the dream is lost

and all but shattered,

reality and time are such cruel bed partners ..

    Good write N.
    It's surprising what some poets on here know about KP.
    Ahh, so you know that her botox cracks?! lol. Last line of verse 2.

    • Neville



      You need to keep the blinds drawn & hush up about her, I thought I could make out a red dot on each of your foreheads ..

    • Teddy.15

      Truth and time oh so very beautiful dear Nev, we certainly cannot hide from that. 🌹

      • Neville



        I tried for so long but in the end, I was obliged to submit .. but you my fair maiden have so many more miles left to put on the clock .. 🌹

            Well N, age, depending on how you look at it can either be your friend or your enemy. But it's always at your side. 🙄

            • Neville

              • Accidental Poet

                You can't argue with age N, I tried and got nowhere. 🙄

                Fine wine gets better with age.

                • Neville



                  I'll drink to that .. cheers .. Neville

                  Time certainly is a thief, but age can have its blessings too. So maybe your title is painting it black. I like what one of your other callers said. Fine wine ages well.

                    At a time in my life where the glass feels half empty, I now tend to loiter by the bar with a spare bucket handy .. many thanks Chris .. Neville

                  • Bella Shepard

                    To be clear eyed in love seems an oxymoron, when the headiness of romance clouds ones vision. And when the cracks begin to appear there comes the hurt of disillutionment. You wrap it all beautifully in this poem my friend. The last line perfect!

                    • Neville



                      How can one possibly get inside another's head like that, not just once, but repeatedly .. thank you so much Bella 💛

                      Time does change many things in our life Neville but if we are strong enough the best things in our lives can be kept in it.
