slam poem on love
David Creaturo
I don’t know where to start
The savagery of the heart
Cupid pins it with a dart
A mysterious dark art
I’m talking about love
The kind that fits like a glove
Makes you peaceful like a dove
No I don’t exactly know
I’ve suffered many a blow
And I’ve felt very low
So such feelings never show
I’d like to someday though
But it seems rather scary
Such situations are quite hairy
When you’re struck by this love fairy
You’re lactose intolerant and fed dairy
And you listen to Mariah Carey
Bruised easily we cry
Over girls and guys
Who lie about who they hooked up with in July
We want to take off and fly
but it’s so hard to break ties
Especially with lust
Which makes it difficult to trust
Because cheating isn’t just
So a lack of trust is a must
And if you spy, that’s a plus
You just want to protect yourself
But from your partner lies a wealth
Of guilt trips, so you’re forced to keep your feelings on a shelf
You’re scared for your health
Those disgusting diseases
We forget when lust teases
Some spread them like leeches
With no morals or respect
Why do we elect
To risk our necks
Just for some sex?
I haven’t a clue
And neither do you
Human nature is too
Blind to be true
When your heart breaks
Your whole body aches
Your entire life quakes
It sucks to be dissed
On that missed call list
You’re rather pissed
You try to break your cell phone
Snap it in two, nobody’s home!
Gotta find your own
Way to cope with being alone
He or she did you wrong
Been going on for too long
Such a treacherous song
But you did the same
They’re not only to blame
You too played that game
The same if not worse
You did it first!
Put under this curse
Of karma the bitch
Yes you know which
That god-awful snitch
That tosses you in a ditch
That’s why you should care
About your lover’s welfare
Hurt them once and they may dare
To get revenge and make it fair
But it’s hard to care
Because you’re so scared
So you put up a shield
When you play the field
The cycle is so cruel
In the beginning you drool
Yet at the end you’re a tool
And you feel like a fool
So I try hard to remain patient
Not waste time with infatuation
Watch my ego’s own deflation
Instead of my heart’s annihilation
So I watch on Valentine’s Day
And secure my feelings at bay
I hope someday I may
Have love carry me away
But definitely not today
I just got bored and wrote this. I hope it's good. I definitely want to read it at the slam. Can someone comment please and give me feedback? Thank you :-)
