That Dark Side of Love

by Nicole M. - Gemini

You're showered with attention
   Like a child molester on death row
He treats you right
   Whatever that means
He's loyal
   Like a puppy dog
What about the presents and the flowers?
   I have to go underneath the table
The hugs?  The kisses?
   A noose and a pillow
But the love in his eyes
   It's not for me, just the ideal
He cares for you so much
    No, he just cares that I'm better
But it seems so 
   Genuine?
Exactly!  You think it too-   
   No, I just caught on long ago.
