DRAWN BUT NOT CONVINCED
she gets off work early
grabs a fast shower
eats on the run
lives life in a blur
runs a stop light
passing on the right
she's in hurry
and not all that brite
she's got to see him
if just one last time
she knows he would never stay
in the distance she hears the chime
his eyes are like that of a tiger
holding yours with ease
he lives for the crowd
but cares not to please
the lights go out
lighters flicker in the darkness
she thinks of him later
believing she is his princess
she holds her breath standing center stage
they look into each others eyes
thinking of the past
she begins to realize
this is a one sided relationship
she in it for love, he for the lust
tears start there desent into forever
falling into the land of hate and disgust
once he could blind her with flowers and gifts
now she knows the whole nasty truth
wishing for a change in her reality
in her mind she revisits her youth
her mind never returned to this world
holding tight to the idea of love and magic
she passed over to the other side late one night
her life candle had used up all it's wick
Hi Renee Yes, I can see how this could be interpreted in many ways... depending on the reader. I am getting the picture of a couple having an affair... as you say in your poem.. one is love, the other is lust.... left a sad impression in my heart.... great read, thanks for sharing Roz :)
