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.

The power of control this lady has...he walks away with tail between his legs... :-)
ouch...one last twist of the knife in his gut eh? no wonder he is jacked up....wonder how many times he will fall for that...
ooh, felt thst one. been there a time or two.
agony, confusion but hidden hope..
but at last the final break..
all was so well expressed
That is cruel. Poor guy he took it in his stride, many would not.
I love this!
This was excellent and edgy. Nice one.
This was unique ... loved the way you expressed it !!!
A tragic tale! A cycle I hope will break.
Ah, not nice. He should simply drop her.
Callous indeed. Seems like he was being used - role reversal? Very well done.
very nice...thanks for sharing this
Wow, cool story here. She is rough!I kind of feel bad for him, but I also kind of don't. It makes me wonder what else has gone on.
I think you have caught the essence (a possible essence) of the image extremely well. Congrats.
Unexpectedly sad tale...
Women are so cruel -- well, they certainly dream about it. ;-)
Anna, wow this poem is a compact
little film noir... I can imagine
Ava Gardner saying these words.
What a bummer that I haven't read this poem earlier.
LOve, the sexy energy.
wow - like a scene from a film - vivid!
Grateful for your welcome comments folks.

Feeling betrayed and humiliated doesn't set well.
