(74) Pseudo Heart

 

Watch out!, she's coming for you.
I'm so sorry, there's no escape now;
Especially as she has you in her sights.
You're hers, to do with as she wants;
A prisoner to her pseudo heart.

You think that you can control her;
You have to know you have that wrong.
What ever she wants, she always gets;
Because with her body you are enticed.
She has you now, with her pseudo heart.

I loved her once, but then I fell.
She took me and drained me of all I had;
Then she cast me out and left me to rot.
I know it was a mistake for she couldn't love.
For there is nothing left inside her pseudo heart.

I am enormously jealous of the title "Pseudo Heart." Wish I had come up with that.

Having learned that these are being posted in an order, and we're less than a third of the way through, I can only imagine the quality of the s**t we're gonna be seeing when we get towards 300. Thanks Chris.

The title is so captivating! I love that! I didn't realized the thought is more than amazing! Thanks for sharing your wonderful "Pseudo Heart."

This bleeds red. Scorn and hurt packed make for a potent and dark reading and the title is just fantastic, as well.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Love the title! This was well written and a enjoyable read!

[Amy Bumpas]

Love ends that way sometimes...enticed, then thrown away.
The heart takes plenty of prisoners...

[fargone]

great stuff chris. deeply emotional.

[Sel Whiteley]

Very succinct and emotionally charged.

[Jeremy Wyatt]

Great stuff Chris, I imagine this as a rock and roll song in the fifties! x

Men have been writing poems about women like this since Adam first laid eyes on Eve. Truth is, for all our bravado, the ladies will always have the upper hand. Nicely done Chris.

Another one that would make an excellent song, my friend!
