Looking for her self-esteem behind every zipper in town

Looking for her self-esteem behind every zipper in town

A Poem by words of rooted design
"

2012 has blessed me with new vision.

"

He's awfully chivalrous for carrying such casual intent

as his blend of canny ways are filled with filthy desire.

 A finicky facade leaving room for discontent

 yet the helpless girl can't help but admire

meanwhile, to herself, she's being a liar. 

 Could she deny this mans selfish pursuance?

Her misinterpretations are inevitable

a genitive surefire. 

He'll maintain his obvious avoidance for exclusivity

she'll claim to have been perpetually blinded by his witty ways

 but she induced her own misfire. 

Those eyes of his will misconstrue

betting on the fact she'll negate her own savvy finesse

that self proclaimed ability to see through.  

Inevitably he'll be praised and built up as a statue

 like his soul

he'll be mended of stone,

in the interim

she'll be gazing pitifully 

into shades of blue.

Wow! I am loving this write. How I have missed you is beyond me. I somehow stumbled by here and then found this work of... sadly i have been one of these... .. ..this work of art.

Well said. Says so much in a rather "hold it far out in front and hold your nose" sort of way. Loved it. Truth lives here. Hopefully out blunders serve to make us wiser. Hope so. Otherwise I' just a dumb chick with a list of stupid mistakes in my past. Thanks for this.

LOL. I love maidahl's comment. I don't believe I've had the pleasure of meeting an asshat before. That being said, this piece does kind of go this way and that way, not really sure what the conclusion should be, but hey, I still liked the construct of your thoughts. :)

It's very abstract. I need concrete images to grasp the meaning fully. I can't tell if he's an asshat or a prince.

Expressive write, true of humans always searching for someone else to avoid looking at themselves

lol, I enjoyed this write, and so true, when jilted most women will start looking for a new source of self assurance of her self worth behind the nearest zipper. Very astute look at the psyche of men and women.
