PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

This is just a case  

of stolen dignity,

but I’m the one

that let him rob me  

of my self-respect.  



And now what am I

left with except

that I am red-handed?  



I was caught...

the act was love,

the crime was  

due to a gluttonous  

amount of it.  



And now I face

the consequences,

living without you,

behind the bars

of my own persistence.  



But the beauty of it

is I could have  

been blameless

and you still  

would have run away.



I know your type.  

I can spot a victim

of heartbreak  

a mile away.



You can’t get away

this time though;

love got you in her sights

and she’s not letting you

go without a fight.
