Contempt

Original fiction and poetry on The New Modern Man by RF

I used to look at you with eyes of desire
Now I look at you with a burning fire
I wish I didn’t carry this burden
But you always had a way of hurting

Blonde hair and blue eyes
You never fool me with the disguise
I wasn’t good enough to involve in any of your lives
You didn’t want one of the good guys

A lifetime of abuse
But now I have no use for you
Never will realize the simple things I desired
Now I see you as a consummate liar

I have nothing but contempt
For the way you turned a nice guy into an imp
And reduced a proud man
Into an animal who emotionally limps

To think you play the victim
When like a predator you make mafia-like hits on men
Among others in a pack of wolves
You destroy your former loves

Now even when you play nice
I feel nothing but ice
And contempt
At the way you live your life, this fool you’ll no longer tempt

Expect no mercy for thee
When like a doe in the forest you scream help me
You had no use for me in your prime
I have no use for you now that it’s my time
