I don't really know why -- it's such a stilted format. But it does make me have to think hard to get the vision in iambic pentameter.
Any suggestions for a title?
You played your game, so cleverly (you thought)
Hid truth in shadowed waters, oh so deep...
Not deep enough, it seems. Perhaps you ought
remember, "What you sow is what you reap."
You knew how sharp betrayal's knife would feel.
That secrets kept would tear my dreams apart.
That shreds would rain upon me while I kneel
and beg, on pieces of my shattered heart,
On shards that cut like glass. I was so blind.
And now you've won a prize, you've sure done well...
A pretty Barbie doll, no brain, no mind
She'll cook, she'll clean, she'll buy the lies you sell.
She's great! But when she picks another guy
Don't come to me, my "friend". Good luck! Goodbye.
