Socio's need Love too

Your taste is just like honey,
if only honey were dipped in cyanide..
My love is enough-
For the both of us-
and your gaze leaves me cold inside..
Just like that!
It was short lived
Nothing more than a whisper
Nothing less of a glimpse
Just mixed emotions with a hint of a flutter,
Drowned deep in the pools of our obvious gutter
Yet what was made of all the clutter?
Finally-
an answer while you turned to hug her..
I was alone in that spot
Only left to wonder
Of known acknowledgements
Silent as thunder
accepting confusion to replace my closure
Alas....
..I wish my mother thought things through
When telling stories I never knew...
I was lead to believe certain things were true
So it worked against me loving you....
I reminice and wish you'd never had me-
Now I'm praying on my knees for daddy..

The title immediately grabs the reader.
Good early imagery : "dipped In cynaide." The later rhyming took away for me. It was guite interesting as the writer seems to be talking about a lover , but at the end brings in family
connections. Presuming it is a "she,"
is the writer referring to sexual abuse?
Which brings one back to the title.
Who is the "socio?"
Definitely make you think. Very good.

Sexual abuse indeed...
Something my mother to this day denies ever happened

[BryanS]

Guess I'm old fashioned (I am old)
but I don't tend to think of sexual abuse occurring between married people (physical and emotional -yes) because sex is part of the
"marriage contract."
Looking at the speaker in the poem , I thought she (you) was talking about herself (you, again).
Good ambiguity.

Interesting write. It certainly captivated me from the start and made me really think about the situation ... food for thought this. Any writing that does that to the reader is a fine piece of work!

Now I can comment. Thank you. I appreciate your review
