| He Loves Me Not |
| By: Monica Strihavka |
| Okay here's poem I wrote. It has nothing to do with me or someone I know. It's about a women who is blinded by love and marries a man who ends up abusing her. The whole experience ages her tremendously and at the end she realizes that he never loved her to being with. Well at least that's what I was trying to write about, make what you want with it ;) |
| He loves me, he loves me not The girl plucks each petal, giggling confidently As each one flutters to the ground Images of laughter and happiness fill her head He loves me, he loves me not The laughter and happiness is soon clouded By screams and distressing fights The petals fall slower now, diminishing in color He loves me, he loves me not A strike! Painful cries echoe through the darkness Petals turn dry and frail as they leave her fingers He loves me, he loves me not Scars leave permanent reminders Of a love that had turned so sour Her fingers quiver, finding it difficult to let these two go Aged fingers let the last petal fall It stumbles solemnly to the ground Where it joins the others in lifeless silence... He loves me not |
