Five Thoughts About Him

Five Thoughts About Him

by A.R.


I.

It's going to take more than creative storytelling to persuade people
that you are a magical gift to women, a humanitarian, or anything 
close to resembling a celebrity, all of which you have deemed yourself.
Such a profound misuse of these words, honors and gifts you've 
believe yourself to be worthy of.  When you could have actually been

all of those things and more.

II. Your special need to put me through hell.  I will never understand

what I thought I once knew so well.  

III. I know your mouth hangs open.  Palms up and fingers spread wide.
While the underside of you is completely wrecked.

IV. And I will listen to the wind blowing through your skin.
Will you fall apart now that you feel; wrong for your indifference
can you feel the weight of yourself.

V. When the lights stay on all night I talk out loud. 
Entertaining the thought of you getting the love
you are deserved.

Oh...how I am so familiar with this brand of human. I imagine this individual held together by fragile strings of ego that will eventually tumble like a house of cards. Brilliantly written and I adore the formatting. The last stanza is especially powerful, full of a snide vehemence and foreshadowing of this individual's own undoing. Brilliant.
