Sweet and Psycho

 






How can you not love her?
Sweet and psycho,
lovable, friendly, homicidal,
The happiest morbid you’ll ever meet...
but deadly, her; no mistress, she!

 

Quite perplexing is her smile,
behind the smile, a lonely frown;
behind the frown a wave of tears,
behind the tears, bubbling laughter
behind the laughter are her fears.
Behind the fear, where no one treads
the boiling rage that lies within.
I take a chance and journey deeper
past the hatchets and the blades
past the quiet before the storm
and all the love that was betrayed.
I reach her core, what did I find-
a bunny chasing a butterfly.

    Psychologically engaging

    Even in the heart of the darkest and crazed, I wist, there is still a seed of good. Your poem is a wonderful psychoanalytical statement - but remember sometimes that seed is the source of all evil too.

    I found it excellent, that POV is established right at the beginning...and those descriptions just add to it. It is funny, naughty and yet so real...A good job!

    I really love this...sounds like it was written about me some days. LOL And your final line is what seals the deal for me........what was your inspiration? Is there really a sweet psycho in your life or were you just being creative? At any rate, I love this piece.

    Now the whole poem made me sad as I was reading it, thinking and feeling the poem through and through, then came the ending, and my face lit up with a smile, I thought...that's wbiro

    Wayne! Oh my goodness! This was great! I absolutely loved it! Great job! I loved how it ended; so many people I know are complex like this. There are so many layers to those creative souls that I've surronded myself with. You've done a great job with this.

    Hugs

    behind the frown a wave of tears,
    behind the tears bubbling laughter,
    behind the laughter are her fears.
    Behind the fears where no one’s been
    the boiling rage that lies within


    this was magical, i felt like i was consistantly looking from left to right,, awesome job, hit the nail on the head and again shows your amazing heart and how much love you hold
    always
