BEWARE OF GEEKS BEARING GIFTS

his love a wound
that scabbed over but
never entirely healed

she would year after year
pick at it pick at it
watching it bleed

his love that thing that
"hurts"
so much...a festering...****

his love a great big
Wooden Horse that
she always allowed inside her pity

her love a Troy
destroyed
hope that eternal useless myth
This got a "Yuck and not very good" from  a certain someone ...so I'm very grateful. It wasn't meant to be a "nice" poem though I did want it to be good! My lovely friend fell in love with an absolutely terrible person who we all implored her to leave but all he had to do was to give her a bunch of flowers or a box of chocs and aghhhhh he was back. We were looking at a documentary on the finding of the actual city of Troy back in the day so I guess that imagery entered into what she was telling me and so the poem came into being!
