Covalent Bond

by Desiree - Virgo

There before me stood a man 
with considerable height,
a natural tan complexion, 
with substancial facial features
that could possibly lead 
to the greatest level of excellence 
known to mankind,
a heart made of candy corn,
every bit of him ravelled 
in sweetness 
so different he was that instance 
then when we had first met
years ago at the age of 13


Anyway I eventually drove away with him 
in the depths of the mysterious hills
on that cold electrifiable September evening,
with my windows frosted over
and the headlights from the opposite direction
creating ice crystals 
that glistened upon my windshield.

We didn't know are destination (still don't)
never really had one,
and now two shocking years later
the same man I thought I knew so completely 
wasn't really who I thought,
My mind created this picture perfect image,
painted the flaws,
concealed the imperfections,
perhaps the intuition 
of him being that great father
he said he would be
and that I believed he had the potential of being,
got me so carried away
that I ignored every aspect
of every situation 
that would influence me 
to change the way I felt for him.

And it's really sad
that I was so naive
so fixated on wanting to be loved
that it took all this time 
for me to realize 
that that candy corn heart
was coated with battery acid...



Reason for writing:

    I really would like to hear what you all think.
