false prophet

Linda M. Crate

you can talk the talk,
but you can’t walk the walk;
typical of false prophets
but i wanted to believe your
sincerity was true
even when i had my suspicions
it may not be—
you shattered every dream i had
of you
watched the pearls of pain
roll down my cheeks,
and thought only
of yourself;
you were deceptive and cruel
only thinking of my body and never my
heart and soul,
and my heart was so hungry that i gave you
something i ought not have—
i was starving
for a dream and an adventure and a hope
maybe it wasn’t fair to place you on
a pedestal,
but it wasn’t kind of you to try to crucify
the wild straight out of my bones
simply so i could agree with whatever weird
whim your mother decided was
her truth.
