Miserable

Self-pitying

he wears his misery

like a too long overcoat. 

(He adores her.)

He is her plaything,

she is fickle, she doesn't care,

she will finish it tonight

and that’s for sure.

(He knows it.)

She plays her games. 

Sultry, she pouts,

twirls her finger through her hair;

whispers come to bed with me.

He does.

When it’s over she says it’s all over

and he cries.   

I don’t love you anymore she says,

wipes sad tears from his sorry eyes. 

She cleaves him to her breast

I don’t love you little puppy dog

she whispers callously.

Miserable

he puts on his overcoat and leaves.
