What Poetic Injustice

Metaphorically, you are a sly simile,

Stealing my heart

Like the smooth criminal

You often pretend to be.

 

I am the ineffable euphony of

Melodious sing-song

Slip-falling through the space

Between tone-deaf ears.

 

Such handsome hyperbole

You have turned out to be.

Pompous, peacock-ing Adonis

Lending love that's just platonic.

 

Alliterative rhythmic rhyme

Ticks the tumultuous internal time.

Fleeting fiend, you soon will find

Lust in lieu of love is a loathsome, lonely life.
