A Boogy Man Poem by Adryan Barnathan

He's a Romantic-
in love with his
own spontaneous
vivacity and creativity
in his mind
he convienced himself
he loves you with
such reverance

You trust him
think he is a good
and beautiful man
believe he is someone
you know very well
and he knows you
inside and out-
He knows you alright!

He knew exactly how
to fool you
professing
that without you
there is no life
only existance
playing you
and your heart-strings
until you are opened
touching every fiber
to hum quivering
vulnerable, aching
in trust and blind love
until he's drained
himself of you

He leaves
you scared
as deep as
any scar can go
then doesn't know
what's wrong with you
or want to know
or understand
why you are so
enraged and hurt
and acting like
a lunatic, because
he doesn't care
and never did!
He had his fun
now, he's done

He loves you
when he loved you
and when he's done
he doesn't remember
who you are
or what he said
just tells you
he's someone
who loves deeply.
