Sweet But Short Poem by Lauren Beasley

Sweet But Short



Short and sweet,
Sweet but short
Love at last
Or a last resort?

Friends forever
But never friends
True love lasts
Until true love ends

Keep it simple
Simply a mess
Love from the heart
Causes heart stress

Two peas in a pod
Mind your own Qs and Ps
Easy to love
Yet let go with ease

Heaven-made match
Matches hell's heat
Queen to his king
Or king of deceit?

Hopeless romantic
Hopeful doubter
Voices speak words
Actions speak louder

Love is blind
Blind leads another
Attached at the hip
Disattached brother

Live to love
Love, yet live
The best gift
You'll never give

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
June 29,2014. I had been sitting on this phrase for a couple weeks: 'Short and sweet, sweet but short.' It amazed me how just flipping those words around changed the meaning entirely. So I ran with it. In the first lines, you'll see typical phrases about love, and in the subsequent line, you'll see those same (or similar) words flipped around to a negative view.
