Cursed?

Cursed?  He says he's cursed.
I know my place; I know my part.
I'm tired of being still and playing dead
Maybe I'm just too rehearsed.
Cursed?  That's a bit too tart,
he's the one who played my heart.

  1. Sounds like misdirection. "It was me, not you." How about the truth. That's all we ask in a relationship. Right, Caty?

  4. When I read this I immediately thought - "The cheek of him saying he was cursed!" and I hope the person in the poem told him so and let go of their usual "rehearsed" behaviour. You say a lot here in a few words.

  7. A good friend told me
    the reader doesn't always
    see what the writer writes
    because they read it with their heart

    The devil
    made them do it
    along with a fifth
    and a strong back hand

    The devil
    made them do it
    or as a child their
    father taught them well

    The devil
    made them do it
    when they die I hope
    they get new lesions in hell
