Heart Shaped & Reflective

entry picture

Did you ever think

As you slandered my name

Did you ever feel a thing

While you were slithering

Were you ever authentic

While I wore your scarlet letter

 

Thank God I found my shades

To block out the sun

Blinding me from the truth

 

I see you puffing your chest

Showing your bright feathers

Like I have no self control

As if it’s biology calling

Now watch me while I swoon

For my peace and solitude

‘Cause it’s that over you

 

Now every memory

I get to relive from a new perspective

Heart shaped and reflective

Hi Jara,

I don't know whether you are a singer/song writer but this would work well as a song lyric.

Nice one!

'Heart Shaped and Reflective' is a great title and there are some excellent lines here. 'While you were slithering' I like lots and using words ending in 'ing' helps to keep up the flow nicely. Thanks for posting Jara.
Colin.
