POEM STARTER
Write a poem based around the theme of Shattered Trust.
Dangerous Charm
You promised that you’d
Hold me,
Cuddle me for hours,
Little did I know,
You were only there
For riches and for powers.
I knew of your past,
I knew it was rough,
I knew about all your
Lies and cons…
Yet I still
Took you in
And made you mine…
I never should’ve
Trusted you,
I should’ve known
You’d never change.
I don’t know what to make
Of the fact
That our love was fake.
A con artist,
A liar,
A heartbreaker
That I desire…
Why?
Your dangerous charm
I’ll never understand,
You swept me up so high,
I thought I’d never land.
I did…
Eventually,
And not on two feet…
You left me alone,
Lost in the cold,
All the power I
Used to hold,
It’s now in your
Wretched hands…
I didn’t know
It was fake,
I didn’t realize
That all the sand
Was at the bottom
Of the hourglass…
It’s all out of hand…
Your dangerous charm,
Your toxic allure,
I know it’ll hurt me,
But I’ll still come back for more.
But you won’t come back
To give it to me…
You broke my trust
And my heart,
You took it all from me,
My innocence and my art.
The once glamorous life
I used to lead
Now lies in your hands,
Yo have it back
I plead.
Your dangerous charm
Lured me in,
Like a siren song,
Then you went for the kill,
You broke my trust,
You did me wrong.
I knew you were dangerous,
And so was your charm…
I’ll always want you,
No matter the harm.
