I was stupid to have fallen for you.
There’s no way to look around it -
I was like a puppy…
I was lost and I
imprinted on your debonair and every move.
Cupid laced the air with all the tinted pollen of you...
and I was just a honeybee-
a guppy baited by your
player attitude.
*
I like to think I liked the chase, but
the truth is that
the possibility that you could love me
was like a drug to me -
and while I thought that I was keen and so acute,
following my dream of you was damaging,
and I was slowly vanishing…
disappearing much without a trace
or print of blue.

Author's Note: Yes - I cheated with this one. I wrote it awhile ago and posted it to my TikTok account, but it's never been shared with Vocal. :)
This poem is part of my "Ghosts of Relationships Past" series, where I reminisce about old love experiences of mine, gone bad. :) ❤️ Follow for more drama!

This is Poem #7 of my personal "Poem-a-Day" challenge. ☺️ Can I keep it up? We shall see. 🫣 So far, I keep falling behind. 🫡

Scared of Surgery Anesthesia? You Can Cure Yourself of that Awful Fear
A friend recently published a story about their fear of anesthesia and surgical procedures. They said they felt like a coward. I am here to say they are not cowardly—they are human and normal. We are all anxious and intimidated when we face serious medical issues.

Hi Gc - Ah, we've all experienced the 'Ah, Shucks' part of a relationship - often too soon to vanish; but such a special feeling when it happened. When you have a moment please view 'Such a Deal'...I know you've gotten a giggle from some of my goofs'. This one was special for me since the 'Salvation Army' offered me a j.o.b. after they viewed it; fer-real..! Jbud.in.l.a.
Love this "Cupid laced the air with all the tinted pollen of you...and I was just a honeybee-" beautiful words made even better with your recitation.
Oooo, I learnt a new word from you, debonair! Also, your poem hit me so hard. I often lose myself for others.
Loved the use of “debonair”! And liked the puppy, honeybee, guppy comparison imagery!
Not cheating cause it's still You're own work.
