Tales Of A Wife: I’m A Dutchman (Part 1)



Oh! Look at her
I tell a lie
On a lie we lie
How do I explain?

She is not plain Jane
She is beautiful
But the lie is most beautiful
I love someone else, damn…

She is under my illusion
If I confess, she wouldn’t eat a humble pie
That’s why I keep telling a lie
Oh! Look at her 

When she say ‘I love you’
I reply ‘me too’
I give her a Judas kiss
A grave image, I’m a Dutchman.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Comments

Plain Jane—ugly

Under my illusion – dwelling in my unreality

Eat a humble pie—make a humble apology and accept humiliation

Judas Kiss – betrayer

I’m a Dutchman – I am something that I am obviously not
