The Illusionist (a poem for girls)

ACT 1

Remember when you first met him?
He blew you away.
He seemed so interesting,
had so much to say.

Falling in love was easy,
and you seemed so sure,
cos it seemed nothing could happen
that you're love wouldn't cure.

He'd surprise and tantalise you,
take your breath away.
And when you'd asked 'will you love me forever?'
He said 'for forever and a day.'

Every time you'd see him,
you'd get that little rush,
wanna drown him in kisses,
always yearned for his touch.

Remember when you lived for those moments?
of any time you would share.
You'd turn your back on the world for him
and hardly even care.

And you thought he was an answer
thought with him, you'd be complete.
You thought the sun shone from his ass,
and said so to everyone you'd meet.

Of his stupidest excuses,
you'd try to make sense,
And if anyone whispered a WORD against him,
you'd jump to his defense.

You'd swear to the world,
You were so deeply in love,
And talk of your sex life, with the words:
'I just can't get enough.'

And all the while,
in the back of your mind,
you knew there was the saying
that 'true love was blind'.

But you thought that referred,
to skin colour or size,
and unwittingly didn't notice
what was right before you're eyes:

See,

'Love is blind' indeed,
to all descriptive names,
but its also blind to illusionists,
and the ways that they change.

............

You thought it was perfect;
couldn't go wrong ANYHOW.
but if you knew what was coming,
You would have got out about now.

Cos then came that moment.
Exactly when, you can't tell:
When the illusionist had you,
completely under his spell.
Friends tried to warn you,
But you disagreed,
Cos you were so deep in the forest,
You couldn't see the wood for the trees.

Soon you were putting up with crap,
Because you thought 'he' was the one,
And you started to bend over backwards
And it went on
and on.... and on.....
....and on.....

................

ACT 2

Little things would annoy him,
and he became harsher,
and then to try to please him
YOU JUST TRIED HARDER!

Shifted to his every whim
hung on every letter of every word,
complied, or tried,
to all he asked, so absurd.

and you'd give, and you'd give
til you we're completely drained.
you couldn't for the life of you
see why things had changed.

It started to get you down,
You wondered how you'd cope.
You lived off the memories
and all you had to go on was hope.

You sat by yourself
wondering 'what else you can i do?
I KNOW that I love him,
but I can't get it through.'

You'd always be arguing,
because he'd pick on little things,
you tried to calm it all down,
but he tried make mountains out of mole hills.

It was always your fault,
(according to him)
and you just wanted things 'to be how it was
not like the mess that we're in.'

and then something had to happen,
something had to give.
either you got the courage to walk away
or broken heartedly,
watched him leave.

ACT 3

Nowadays....

In starting new relationships,
you're always on your guard,
afraid to love again,
because he made love so hard.

You may swear yourself off men
But that wouldn't be fair...
Because there's also a good soul
For every illusionist that's out there.

See,

Ask an illusionist: 'what'd make you happy?'
You'd get no response.
Cause, the illusionist is a fool,
He doesn't know what he wants.

And trust me, the time will come,
When he'll one day rue,
All that he did,
And all he put you through.

So, let him go on his way
Trying to fool someone else,
Because the illusionist is a loser.
Too messed up....
....to see....
....He's also tricking himself.
