I decided to use writing prompt 18 with the beginning and ending word ‘off”. This poem is also another ‘unlove ‘ poem…here goes!
Off with the noise
Shut the crap
You lie all the time
Take a break…maybe a nap
Where is your integrity
Do you ever tell the truth
Or have you been a liar
From the days of your youth
I ain’t hearin’ it
None of it is real
You couldn’t care less how this hurts
Couldn’t care less how I feel
A one-sided conversation
Is completely void and null
You can make your mouth say anything
I guess to keep from being dull
If this is the case then it worked
No, never a dull moment with you
Making shit up as you go along
Knowing damn well it ain’t true
If lying paid, you would be rich
And you wouldn’t have to pretend
To be something that you are not
Fake talk, fake life, fake friend
Where do you get this stuff from anyway
That no one would buy or try to sell
Karma would be you spending your days
As a grotesque beast from Hell
But that probably wouldn’t bother you
You’re pretty darn close to that today
It’s not your looks but your words,
Your actions and deceitful ways
I’m talkin’ to you like this out of love
In hopes that you will one day stop
But don’t take my kindness for stupid
I ain’t eatin’ your shit-filled crock
Life could be so simple if you would let it
No matter where you live – mansion, hut, or loft
Be real with me, or shut up and ship out
This ends our little tete-a-tete…good thing I wasn’t pissed off 🙂
