Pout Girl by Cliff Blank

There you go again, the hard faced pout,
The chair’s overturned and you’re storming out
And I‘m left, under the harsh light of a dozen stares,
Enduring sympathy as much as the angry glares.
So I pay the bill for the uneaten meals,
Snag the wine bottle and turn on my heels
And somewhere, between first glass and last drops,
A moment of clarity, and time stops.

Its you. Not me. Its you.

Because from a friend or a lover, what’s most expected,
Is a sign or behaviour that says you’re respected
And your walkouts and petty displays
Leave me so empty, because we had better days
And I don’t deserve your disregard,
Or your unreasonable demands or icy facade
And I don’t need the cold shoulder or the silent phone,
And I don’t need this anger, or feeling so alone

Because that’s you. Not me. That’s you.

So when we bump into each other or intersect,
Allow me to say before you interject
That maybe I didn’t call to say I was late,
But I apologised and let you berate
And I tried to make up like all those other times,
And asked you to forgive my heartless crimes
Yet for you there’s no compromise,
So somewhere between first kiss and last pout love dies.

And there you go again. Keep going. [comments] => 8 [counter] => 307 [topic] => 22 [informant] => spike [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 57 [ratings] => 12 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )

Hello Spike,
I've just finished reading your powerful poem entitled, There you go again. I thought it was great. It's very well written. as well as being well thought out. You wrote this peice with so much emotion. I liked the pace of this poem because it was quite smooth and easy to follow. Great Writing Job!

S,

Painful how I relate to this. But amazing at how well and skillfully you crafted the message. I'm
sorry if this comes from recent events ...

This was laid out so simply, and yet it's so incredibly poetic, (as is the vast amount of your writes).
"So somewhere between first kiss and last pout love dies."
oh god ... how incredible that one line is! So raw, and dripping with terse honesty.

Your poetry is among the very MOST underrated on this site. Pity. Such emotions ... such passion ...
such plain, unmitigated genuineness. I love it spike.

Kudos.

~B

"So somewhere between first kiss and last pout love dies. "



This capped off an excellent write with a real bang. Great emotional honesty and insight.

Very well written my friend

Many times we poets and writers receive compliments in the form of a question, for only from personal experience can one usually capture the passion of the "pout", cold shoulder or silent phone. The unknowing reader says, "I'm so sorry for you to have had such a sad experience." Then the master says, "I didn't." Did you? I can't trust you no more, Spike.

But when enjoying and commenting on your poems SUPERB is still needed in my vocabulary.
