    For that Damned, Elusive, Charmer

    I don’t understand.
    Why you did this to me
    I can’t comprehend.
    Why my eyes did not see.

    You’re a liar and a thief.
    You are evil in flesh!
    I hate your sorry soul -
    How our hearts did enmesh.

    I gave you my heart.
    And you let me believe,
    You were my perfect man.
    I was stupid, naïve.

    I came to your side
    For advice every day.
    I longed for your words,
    For my trouble to allay.

    But now I know the truth!
    That the man I once knew
    Is not who you are,
    Just an act you debut.

    And now, knowing this,
    My heart loves no more.
    I have wasted my youth
    On a man I abhor.

    And now, knowing this,
    My ears hear no more,
    The lies that you spun
    And the truth that you tore.

    And now, knowing this,
    My eyes see no more,
    That face, so deceptive
    Seems now, like a boar.

    And now, knowing this,
    My hands feel no more,
    The man that oozed falsity
    Whom I deemed my savior.

    And now, knowing this,
    My soul longs no more
    For the damned, elusive, charmer
    That I learned to adore.

    But still, knowing this
    My childish heart ever longs
    For that time of which you told,
    When in your arms, I’d belong.

    But still, knowing this,
    My childish heart ever yearns,
    For that land where you said,
    We would dream and sojourn.

    But still, knowing this,
    My childish heart ever bleeds
    For that child we’d have raised,
    All our hopes he’d exceed.

    But still, knowing this,
    My childish heart ever cries
    For that home in the green
    Where our fears would remise.

    But still, knowing this,
    My childish heart ever screams
    For that day that I thought
    You’d fulfill all my dreams.

    But now I know the truth!
    You are not who you say
    While my soul does imbue
    You still live another day.

    Another day in this world
    Another girl to bewitch
    Another soul to enslave
    Another body to make flitch.

    You’re a liar and a thief.
    You are evil in flesh!
    I hate your sorry soul,
    From my life, you I thresh!

    WOW Vlove you have really made me hate him! Now that's persuasive poetry. Great rhymes and this one had me eating right out of the poet's hand! ginga

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
