Warning Signs
He came with all sorts of warning signs
Enough to tell me that he wasn’t the one
But my dears I so wanted him to be the one,
That I slow danced with in my kitchen at age forty…
His sinister smile should’ve tripped my alarm
And caused warning bells to scream
But all I could hear each time he smiled
Were wedding bells accompanied with visions of me walking down an aisle
I should’ve seen the demons lurking behind his eyes
Promising to tear me apart
But all I saw was an emerald sea
That calmed all my demons
His burning touch should’ve told me that I was playing with fire
But never have I ever felt such passion that set me on fire
I wanted to feel enough of it
So much that I pressed myself closer, willing him to keep on burning me…
And everytime he kissed me
I should’ve tasted the poison he injected
I didn’t,
For all I could taste were the sugary sweet promises of forever
I should’ve smelt myself burning
Everytime he pressed me close
That as you guessed wasn’t the case,
For all I could perceive was the smell of him that I loved
It wasn’t until it was too late
That I begun to process the warning signs
I finally heard my alarms scream
And saw demons worse than mine behind his eyes
I finally felt myself burning
And tasted the bitter poison in my mouth
But I never smelt myself burning,
Not till I had been reduced to nothing but ash and dust….
It's exam season right now and I'm pretty sure of failing my tomorrow paper but oh well...
