I'll Call You Sybil

I'll Call You Sybil

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)

 

I go to bed

You’re like a warm comfy blanket

I wake up

You turn to cold bitter coffee

From yesterdays pot.

 

Oh my I see your skin

Is a lovely angelic white.

Wait I blink my eyes

Suddenly there is a tan…

Wait how could that happen.

 

Gosh I really like your blonde hair

What was that a wig

Cause now you brunette.

I just don’t understand.

 

Then everyday

I have to call you by

A different name.

Hiding from the law

Or ashamed of your past.

For me I will make it simple

And just call you Sybil.

 

You say you want someone

To care about you

But honey how can anyone

Give a damn

When even you don’t recognize

The back of your hand.

 

Oh my woman

My head is spinning

As you slip on that white jacket

With those shining buckles

At least you should be

For let me give you a reality check

You’ve become Darwin’s grab bag.

It's hard to love someone who never shows their true face, this poem is more of a slam I think than observation. I think the person is changing personality to suit any situation or maybe manipulating others somehow. Anyway it is a great write. Interesting too, hmmm makes me wonder.

You've woven in such a dramatic vision of the psyche.. the mind taking turns at life's game, and playing one up on the soul. Gripping, stirring words that mingle all the isolation of the world and give us a face.. and a name.

Wow, impressive write. That seems like a hard situation to be in with someone who is always changing for what ever the reason. Like the ending on this, the reference to Darwin's grab bag. Great job on this piece.

Hmmmmmmmmmm some may say thats just part of being a woman, not sure I would agree, know some men like that. Multiple personalities, change on you in a second. Never whats gonna happen or what they will say or do. lol
Loved this one too Cowboy. So very true. Love the reality check, Darwins grab bag. lol
