Those who haven't met you
Cannot understand
How your black smile
Makes him want to jump.
Jump into the well,
And stay down there.
He'll never forget
The first time he saw you.
He was terrified
Without knowing why.
Now he has reasons.
Reasons galore.
If he makes a list,
They'll cover the page.
But he's not going to,
Doesn't want to distract you.
He'll only be happy
When he watches your back,
Tiny as a dot
Far, far away.
When he sees you
Walking into the distance
And you become a memory.
Then, just like that,
He will forget you.
You'll exist no more.
You will be somewhere else
Hunting for your next prey.

Delete"HE" is a predator.
ReplyDelete"YOU" is the catch in a hunting.
Perhaps, this poem is describing a bad encounter or a bad relationship.
YOU had a bad felling at the first sigh but went on with the relationship. In the end, the true colours of HE appeared and YOU just wanted to run away.
'at the first sighT', I meant.
DeleteThis is a good interpretation, but the writer was talking about depression.
ReplyDeleteAt first sight. No article.
Thanks.
