Victim Of Love

by Lady Nik   Jul 28, 2009


I felt sorry for awhile
for hurting you so
badly. Then I
remembered the day
you lied to me.

I thought love
was supposed to
be just two people
not three...
Guess I didn't
get the memo.

You love to pretend
like you're so innocent
a helpless victim
of a spiders web.
That I am just an insect
going after anything
that I can get...

Don't think too
highly of yourself....
I wouldn't even let you be
the thick piece of gum
on the bottom of my converses.

It's sad....almost pathetic
to think I was so in love with you
You...of all people.
I was enthralled by your every word
Call...and I was always there.
Not anymore...I am not your
slave...not your property.

Never again will I be
a prey of your sword.
A victim of your love.

    'I wouldn't even let you be

    `I had to stop and re-read this cause it was so original and something Ive never heard in my life. I love the meaning behind these lines though, telling someone to not think so highly of themselves and then comparing it to something else. A original metaphor.. well done.

    'Never again will I be
    a prey of your sword.
    A victim of your love.'
    `Loved the ending very strong..powerful!

    I could see a lot of mixed emotions in this piece, mostly anger and frustration; but also guilt for falling for them and being 'a victim of their love' as well as hurt because of what this nasty person did to you.

    I loved the part where you said you thought love was supposed to be between two people, and not three... and how you didnt get the memo, a very sarcastic comment but loved it cause sadly it happens sometimes.. it was unique the way you said it.

    A great write, I think I gave you this challenge a while back; the spider web thing was a bit familiar to me. I thought you did great with this.

    Hmm a title; I am really terrible @ them, so unfortunetly I'm not sure if I can help you on that part. Love's Spider Web? - love is kind of like a spider web, we get spun up in it.. Victim of Love? - although @ the end you say you wont be a victim any longer, yet your whole poem was being a victim of this love. I told you I'm terrible at suggestions.. so I hope someone else has an idea!

    Well done:]
