Silly Me

Contributed by JakerBaker88 on Wednesday, 10th March 2010 @ 09:42:01 PM in AEST
Topic: anguished



Silly of me,
Believing I could snare such a heart.
That I could ever beguile him!
Me?
With my awkward smile,
Gangly body,
Tangled hair,
And stilted laugh?
No, I was wrong.
I over stepped my boundries;
Tumbled down the rabbit hole,
Into Wonderland
Feeling bested by Twiddle D and Twiddle Dumb.
Pathetic really,
Imagining that I could tug at his heart strings,
As much as he has tugged at mine.
Ha!-----
Laughable how I trusted in Loves song;
Running towards Her tune like a giddy school girl,
Mad with loving
And mad with longing too.
I was bewitched by a forked tongue,
Promising me the moon and the stars---
Leading me to my doom.
Silly of me,
Believing I could dare be his sweetheart.
That I could ever seem worthwhile to him!
Me?
Without the glamor,
The posture,
Or the sultry air of most women?
Yes, I was wrong.
Dreaming of true Loves kiss,
Only ends in tragedy -------
For men rarely appreciate such sentimentality.

What a wonderful write, very creative and unique way of expressing the raised hopes of love being dashed and dealing with the aftermath of fighting to rebuild self esteem, I really like the line tumbled down the rabbit hole into wonderland....can relate to that too much I think lol

A great write with fantastic imagery. The men who don't or can't appreciate the sentimental side of love are fools and it's there loss not to take part. This was a stimulating write for the mind and very well written.

take care
duff

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are quite a few guys that like awkward smiles, gangly bodies, tangled hair, & sentimentality. Perhaps you are just trying to tug at the wrong heart strings.

This poem really conveys the emotion of hurt and is well written. However, dreams can come true. For real, I know from personal experience. Try not beating yourself up and think of this as a test drive until the real one comes along.

Take care and keep 'em coming.
