Women are heartless

Woman are heartless (a poem for my brother)

Woman come
And woman go
They fill out lives with joy
And throw us away like a used toy

Woman don't care
About what is fair
They promise they will stay
Then they just go away

Why do they do this?
Why are they heartless?
Why does relationships end?
Around every bend

Woman can be so kind
Then men can't get them out of their mind
But woman can be cruel
And make you a fool

My brother was hurt
By a girl in a skirt
They are not all the same
But most only chase fame

They say that they love you
Rarely they actually do
She went away...

Thats where she should stay

@kieth Jeffries Thank you for the feedback. You are 100% correct there are definitely men that are heartless as well.

I mostly write out of emotion, and also mostly when I am hurt. In the case of this poem it was out of person hurt from the past when my Brother in laws fiance left him a month before their wedding.

Neill,

This poem is well rhymed and tinged with humour. Some would see it as being a classic example of misogamy but often the truth of one's personal experiences need to be aired. I am sure many men are equally capricious and heartless when it suits them. You can write and write well. I look forward to seeing more of your poems.
Thank you for this

Keith
