A man in my past

Neilton

Are you the man of my dreams ?

Making me laugh till I can't breathe 

Your seraphic face 

Drives me insane 

Your hands around my waist 

A smile and a caress

And in the twinkling of an eye

I forget your lies 

I forget the pain you caused 

As I was too much for you 

I'm sure 

 

But oh my ! Our life up there 

It looks like a glare 

You reminisce when in despair 

When you made me feel special 

Picked my heart like you cared 

Dressed me in unknown colours 

And erratic layers 

I opened my heart to a stranger 

I thought I knew for a second 

But then I was left 

Alone and Paralyzed from the neck

 

How did I not see earlier 

That you used me 

And put me in a cage 

Unable to escape 

Because of your narcissism 

I was told you were a suitable suitor 

From the girl who was cuter 

I actually felt I knew you 

And in the twinkling of an eye 

As absurd as it sounds 

My heartbeat was unfathomably loud 

 

The beat was as if my whole world 

Has been exploded once again

Falling in something called Love 

 With your soft touch 

Like a wayward gale 

Destroying everything on her way 

I scratch your hair 

As we tightly embrace 

Pretending I'm the one you chase 

Pretending you search my face 

 In every crowded place

 

You should have warned

Her fragile heart

Can't bear grey rats 

That bite in the dark

Can't bear moles 

And anything that breaks her soul 

The little girl never have thought 

Every interaction would cause wars 

That would drive her mad 

Would lock her in asylums 

Unknown to man 

 

So I call you just a man 

Although I question that 

I believe you are in the past 

Hidden in the longest summer nights

Laying under the silvery moon 

Memories that we'll forget soon

Looking at the gleaming stars 

Almost as beautiful as you are

Laughing and having fun

A dream that lasted 14 days 

Sometimes I wish you were the man of my fate

    Being taken advantage of and discarded is a very painful thing. This poem appears to be an opening of the heart nicely written.

    • Neilton

      Thank you so much ! It was truly a very painful experience but I'm trying to put it behind me now.

    • Cassie58

      You convey the pain here. So unpleasant to feel that you have been played. We do grow stronger where we break, although you might not appreciate that yet. Narcissism, yuk. A clean break is always best. They never change. A good read.

      • Neilton

        Wow! Thank you Cassie for your kind words! They mean a lot 💖you are absolutely right these kind of people are the worst!

      • Thomas W Case

        Powerful work. The pain is palpable.

        • Neilton

          Thank you so much!!

        • Dan Williams

          Thoughts racing, whirling. This guy embarrasses me, not a gentleman. Nice work.

          • Neilton

            Thank you so much Dan! That's very kind of you !

            Blimey .. talk about a whirlwind romance & what a bloomin comedown too .. I hope some very important lessons have now been learnt .. narcissists @ least real ones, the term is often overused and inappropriately .. rarely if ever change .. I know, I work with a whole bunch .. Neville

              I absolutely agree with you ! This experience although a heartbreaking one actually helped me understand not only people\'s behavior but also my needs and what I truly deserve ! Thank you for your comment 🧡
