PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

within one breath

of your foolish consent

I buckled before you

only to further humiliate myself

by allowing my heart to over run

my head

what a naive, groveling fool was I

and in that same sad vein of stupidity

I actually expected

you to love me in return

my youth was but an enemy to my cause

yet still such illness in me

speaks so highly of you

which is pretty sad now

isn't it......................
