Offender of Love

The love I gave I thought you would treasure.
I did not know you were in it only for pleasure.
How did I endure your rash deliver?
Somehow it was easy to greet and recur.
So easily fooled and unaware.
My emotions so frail, my poor heart 
could not ward off  that which you set out to injure.
You had stolen my love which was pure.
There is no cure.
You may try to restore me to favor.
How could I forgive a man with such bad behavior.
A counter of sorts would require a man who is mature.
One that has learned a lesson, and who is sincere.
However…
No longer am I a prisoner of  your lure.
I will never pardon you for wounding a heart so tender.
You are loves greatest offender.

Too many are taken in by charisma, when they should hold out for character. Sorry for your loss.

This is an absolutely solid hit in the jaw. Very, very powerful and a bit taunting. I think I'll have to invent some new metaphors just for your poetry, as I seem to running out! Great job, as always. Another X (see, Roman Numerals! I dare to be different ;)

Another excellent poem thats speaks only the truth. I too feel the same way about my ex relationships and marriages.Perfect 10 for me.

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
