Loathsome Lothario Poem by StevieC Poet

You think you could do better-
Always,
You look into a mirror and see a fake image smiling back.
Baring your teeth in a grimace- you don't like what you see
Or do you?
Volumes of excuses always outnumbering the finer points,
but betrayal comes easy when one feels justified.
Glazed glances at fickle lovers always pass unseen
demolishingcredibility, trust.
Hurt kept under cover, disguised as bravado..
Hell yes! That's how you roll.
Flaming verbals, scatter spaying across the room,
wounding all who block their path.
No one cares, no one knows,
allhidden within, neverquestioning moralsorintent.
Just one love needed to be real, just a singular challenge won
To alter perception and belief.
Until then your lothario life slithers on
Unfettered, unbridled, unrepentant,
Always believing something better will be your prize.
