diamond- The Creature Chronicles (part one)

A Poem by Jack Diamond
"

A bit about the darker side of romance and love

"

 

They stand in line to play his game
 
They remember his smile
 
They all know his name
 
Then like a predator of hearts
 
He soon gets to know them
 
His cruel blackened dark side, he won’t soon show them
 
Ignorance is never bliss
 
When you play high stakes,
 
In a game like this
 
They stand in line to hand him a heart
 
It won’t be long until he tears it apart
 
But they never see
 
Their best chance is to flee
 
He is a puppet master of epic proportion
 
A charming young vial
 
Of romantic distortion
 
Keeping broken hearts,
 
In a large trophy case
 
His own is in pieces
 
A black hole takes its place
 
Those stupid girls
 
They should see right through him
 
They jump in head-first
 
As if they thought they knew him
 
His cold selfish antics
 
Grow ever so old
 
And I’m here to tell you,
 
He’s glitter
 
Not gold
 
Are you stupid, or blind?
 
Why can’t you see?
 
This cruel heartless a*****e,
 
This creature is me.
 
This creature’s a beast
 
In a once human frame
 
A fellow survivor,
 
A victim of the game
 
A once merciful judge
 
Quick with second chances
 
Round and round in circles
 
In most dangerous dances
 
Now a bit colder,
 
And a lot more singed
 
Far more defensive
 
Deranged and unhinged
 
Oh you poor thing
 
You’re not to blame,
 
Here’s a chip for the table
 
Come sit…
 
Play the game
 
Abandon all hope
 
Yhe who enter here
 
The time until you're just like him
 
Grows
 
Ever
 
So
 
Near

This is part one of a story that I hate. I would love to stop writing the Creature Chronicles as each time I write one the creature and I become closer and closer.

Freaky... As I was reading, it crossed my mind that you might be jealous, but hey, you can't be jealous of yourself! You have a wonderful talent with words, and should never give it up! Really, I'm serious.
