Love Disguise

Am I but your prize to display
A trophy to boost your pride
Simply part of all you survey
A sacrifice to the great diva bride

You make your friends envious
Ones purchased with my wallet
Malipulations most mischieveous
My gullability your grandest yet

You display me like chattel
Simply another object to own
A new trophy for your mantel
An accesory for your proud home

What happened to the true love
Now I am but to fetch and carry
Only yesterday your turtle dove
My back to wall, thrust and parry!

How could a rouse be so complete
Manipulations so well planned
I had perceived you oh so sweet
My defenses so poorly manned

How could I have been so wrong
Trusting all I now yield to defeat
A woeful tune becomes my song
Drug induced haze my soul's retreat

What hapopened to the true love
Now I am but to fetch and carry
Only yesterday your turtle dove
My back to wall, thrust and parry!

About this poem:
Just a made up poem to warn about Confidence Men or Women.
They can be very convincing apparently. Met a Confidence Man
once and words flowed so easily and with conviction.

Hi boyshchrm...you had me worried at first, my poem ..I am not a trophy...flashed before my eyes.....

Thanks Niah. I will have to review your
poem and hope crevices of my mind did not
accidentally use any of your phrases. With
some people love is simply a possession. TYangel hug

Oh...I didn't mean that...I was concerned for you.....I meant been there got the tee shirt silly, we all use the same words.....how could we not....and we share emotions too....you should know me better....and I am stressing out, as you'd imagine... days before the move and hic-cups at ever turn.....Niahcomfort hug teddybear

Not my exact experience Niah, but perhaps with most
relationships that go South we feel some of the
feelings I have exspressed. Sorry...I live in dire fear
of Plagerizig another poet..be it even one line.
