The Sisterhood
Self proclaimed Saviour
do you realize that you saved a girl
from making a great escape
and helped the help- meet
to be taken for a fool?
How altruistic that you take the attention,
time and gifts, that should be hers
are you so deserving of her rewards?
the stunted heart that she works to secure
while you boast avoidance of the daily grind
of compromise and self sacrifice?
Well done then,
for surely you must have something he needs,
Maybe your lack of conscience and empathy?
Still, if she never knows you
as the 'Eminence Grise'
then, well done for the couple
You've turned into a threesome
About Me
- Elizabeth Manuel
- Yorkshire, United Kingdom
- Born Elizabeth Maiden, one of four children, I have written poetry since the age of fourteen, although it didn't occur to me till recently to save or share the things I wrote as I never imagined as a young adult that I I would ever want to share my deepest thoughts with anyone. Now I keep my poems as a sort of shorthand diary of key moments from my life. My hope is that other 'poets' might derive some pleasure and comfort from mutual recognition of feeling expressed here.
