Past Tense Poem by Thomas Case
Past Tense
Being polite or kind was
never an aspiration of hers'.
And the level of
selfishness she displayed
bordered on narcissism.
When we used to go
for walks, Tulips and
Daffodils wilted when she
passed by.
And those eyes...
I've seen more
soul
in the eyes of
a dead gold fish.
In the arena of
cruelty, she gave Jezebel
and Nero a run for
their money.
The sun hid
behind clouds when it
saw her face,
and small animals shrieked when
they heard her footsteps.
I chose to write
this in the past tense
because that's what she is...
ancient history.
She was love, she was history. She was beloved, she was heritage. So, let's write all in the disc of past tense!
I have met several people like this through out my life. Now wishing I told them they are not liked. Appreciate your words. Thank You.
Maybe ironic why is the poet writing and spiteful if she is history feel sorry for the poet

Generic! " In the arena of cruelty, she gave Jezebel and Nero a run for their money." Excellent
