Bone dry

peto

A genie with no wish to grant 

His only flower a nuclear plant

A crawling brown nosed sycophant

She bled his heart bone dry 

 

A lifetimes layers were slowly peeled 

His mysteries had been revealed 

A love sick wound is stitched and healed 

She bled his heart bone dry 

 

Love conquers all but chalks up kills

Mutates emotions as it fills 

It's victims with a million pills 

She bled his heart bone dry 

 

Obsessed by were it all went wrong 

The birds all sing her favourite song 

Cries tears of anguish all night long 

She bled his heart bone dry 

 

He prays one day to slowly find

A love that's of the lasting kind

She'll know his body soul and mind 

His heart will once more fly

    A love that took all and left only a shell. Nicely written Peto a sad write

  • Friendship

    Lovely written.. The imagery you painted of a genie and a nuclear plant, to me, suggests a sense of lost potential and the destructive nature of love. Your poem seems to reflect on the complexities of love, the pain of heartbreak, and the hope for healing and lasting companionship.
