BackStabber

You paint your words in the most beautiful colors so you thought
I wouldn't notice the mold
But the smell is slowly spreading

I look at myself in the mirror
In my favorite dress
My hair is tied up the way we both like
And you said I looked horrible
It's not my favorite dress anymore
Now, I feel horrible

The ones who shake my hand are my idols
You're the one who hugs
I didn't realize you did it
so your face wouldn't be seen

You tried to dry my soaked name in the sun
And I thought you were helping me
until I faded

I have a common past with Caesar anymore.

“Et tu, Brute? “Search the world for lovers or even friends and you’ll find yourself alone, in desperate corridors, reflections into what you can handle. OK, so that’s how I feel when I read this as far as the emotion or wild horses between it’s structure that is where this let’s me hear you scream, and I must admit I’ve heard that scream before. A beautiful adaptation of a wildflower letting go in full bloom…. What a wonderful day it must’ve been. Smiles!

This is such a nice review! You really can talk about your emotions, thank you for sharing your thoughts. And thank you so much for taking time to read!

As can you! Poets we are, right? Pleasure’s mine, thanks!

I love the old song by the O'Jays "The Backstabbers" "What they do? They smile in your face when all the time they wanna take your place." But, on the other hand I've never thought words were weapons and I've never been soft skinned enough for them to hurt me. My response to "you look horrible" would be, (Wanna see something uglier? Go look in the mirror.) ;) But I wouldn't get mad or be hurt about it.

That's a valid answer! And that's a great song! And this is twin poem, actually I was gonna delete this one but I forgot! Hahaha. Thank you so much for your visit and time sir!

Beautiful twin poems. Atleast Brutus loved Caesar at some point...

In my story, no she didn't. She faked it.
In real story, I'm obsessed with Caesar.
