Total Bullshit? Yes, But Say It Again!

It felt unnatural
showered with sweet words
bathed in compliments
drenched in verbal affection
tears flowed and I hid

Total bullshit!!!
I do not care
Tell me more
say it again
wash my soul with sweet nothings
I weep at the hearing
Uncomfortable in my mind
but my soul craves more
my heart wants to believe
every syllable

Sweet words are like a stranger
I feel danger
curious
wonder
why I had never heard them before?

Too many days spent in darkness makes one not know how to acknowledge the light. Excellent write and so true to the mark.

As long as you recognise the bullshit why not enjoy it

A grand poem, it reminds me of a poem I have called pleading for thunder. The empowerment of words here is really something spectacular to read. The irony is so forceful and deep with imagery along with suggestions. I really like this work Sandra. I'm going to book mark it.

A stranger perhaps because it be something you have not been accustomed to receiving from that someone who has not shown you their very best side in a very long time. ....People do , or rather CAN change...If they truly deem it important & necessary to do so.The ability is there, but one must heed the wake-up call that they obviously received & that resulted in their sudden change for the better & then committ to making a concerted effort with their partner/friend/whoever, to see if these reaching branches of potential re-growth may once again bare sweet fruit.Very fine work, Sandra indeed !\\\FjR///
