Through the Looking Glass

This tiring game you play,
Pull my strings taught, To
Keep me in tow,
As my infatuation wanes,
and my attraction slows.
You dirty cheat
To keep me so long.
As my foot steps stray
You pull on my chain.
And I follow
and falter
and frustrate
and fray
As you play me
For a fool
In your twisted game
You're amused
You're amazed
I'm Disheartened
Dismayed
And you pull me like marionette
And I follow so gay

Quod me nutrit me destruit.
("What nourishes me also destroys me." - latin)

Without the experiance of love where would we be? We would have no memories to cherish.
With love it brings hurt with hurt bittersweet memories.

Good write about loves angst. My suggestion for a title would be Played For A Fool.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

How about "The Pleasure Must Be Yours"  and I might also put that as the first line. Just a thought take it or leave it.

Marionette gets my vote.

Poetic verse nestled in the warmth of my heart, reveals the sweet yearnings of my soul....

Thank you for sharing this. I feel the same way. But, we do learn our lessons. Don't we?

I think a good title would be "Almost Persuaded"  James
