Inundation
What do I have here
In my mobile?
Jokes, Quotes,
Poems and Prose.
Words of response
Buttered with humour
Candour, warps of ‘dear’
And a seemingly friendly
Call to me:
I being his ‘buddy’.
Though he knows
That to me, he is
No more that friend
Of mine I once loved.
These baubles, trinkets
And candies of sugary
Sweet smses that he
Keeps sending me…
Often telling a tale
Of how miserable he is
And yet he is doing these
Things to please me.
Does his plight warrant
Any sympathy?
No, Never. Not anymore
From me. I’ve had the bitter
Taste of his fake friendship
When he turned out to be
More a foe than a friend -
Letting me down in every way.
No going back that way.
I know if I give in to his
Wayward charms, feeling
Vulnerable as before…
He’ll leave me writhing in pain.
And all my hurt will bolster
And boost his swelling pride
Of a victorious conquest on
The vanquished lover in me.
So let this inundation of his
Friendliness continue…
Let him play his cards well
Now I know how to play them too.
