Killing Me Softly

I love the song "Killing Me Softly" and I took inspiration from the title for the title of my poem. Enjoy! I am Gabby G. and the girl I talk about is another girl

You are killing me softly

The wound is deep but you cannot see.

 

You grabbed her hand today

And walked down the hallway

Happy as can be

As you were holding the hand of Gabby.

 

Gabby...what words can I use to say?

The girl who is perfect in every way

Long, straight hair and not one amiss

Skinny girl with a face that is flawless.

 

You are killing me softly

The wound is deep but you cannot see.

 

A real woman is not what you want

Gabby wears short shorts and her body she flaunts

I wear jeans and am very modest

She lies to you...but ,with you, I am always honest.

 

I am still convinced that one day

You will wake and see the error of your ways

You will knock on my door

Smile, and be with that girl no more.

 

You are killing me softly

The wound is deep but you cannot see.

Fantastic!!! This is one of my all-time favorite songs, too! N' you've used it to create something beautiful n' quite magical, Beatles9322! My favorite lines are: "Long, straight hair and not one amiss/Skinny girl with a face that is flawless...." This poem is a GEM! ㋡

I like this one, because you've written it from the heart. I like it, because I have felt like this, but really which girl hasn't?
