Right from Wrong

Right from Wrong

A Poem by Ally Baker

amazing is
to you
as stupid is
to me

i cannot believe
that i let this
happen again
how could i have?
but i know the answer

its his eyes
his personality
his sweetness
his everything
that lured me into
the horrible trap
again

this time
i am foolish enough
to think that he
has fallen for me
but oh i am so wrong
oh so very wrong

he did not
all he did was
strap on those
steel toed
combat boots
and dance around
on my oh so fragile
wilting thing of a heart
taunting me with
his sweet words

he was just being nice
i knew that deep down
somwhere i knew that
but i would not listen
no

i had to keep thinking
there was a chance...
but there never was.
not this time.
not the last 3 times
a chance was never

i was just hallucinating
but now i see clearly again
and my heart is still in surgery
being repaired
leaving a gaping hole in my chest
that makes life painful

but how long after
i am stitched back up
will the hallucinations
return to my gullable mind?


how long will the repairs
take this time?
how big is the chance
that it will not come through?
how many times
must i go through this
to finally learn right from wrong?

This is amazing.
I'd have to say that my favorites parts are
"but how long after
i am stitched back up
will the hallucinations
return to my gullable mind?"
and
"all he did was
strap on those
steel toed
combat boots
and dance around
on my oh so fragile
wilting thing of a heart
taunting me with
his sweet words"
I find this piece relatable.
You have so many kick a*s lines in this piece.
I love it!
