Come one, come all!
See a creature with eyes so green.
Jealousy one might dare to say.
Hear her heart close to breaking.
Taste the longing in the air for something that's not even hers.
Feel the hate that radiates subtly from her form like steam.

Come one, come all!
Cause her pain, after all it's not a very big price to pay!
You won't be disappointed!
Get your money's worth!

She once was strong, but now she's breaking.
That's what happens when creatures like her leave their heart for the taking.

Taunt her with the one she can't seem to have.
Dare to whisper "Her" name where the creature's should be!
Paint the unseemly images of him with another.

Can you hear her heart trying to beat its way from her chest where it's bound?
Oh this is where the money's made, Such a lovely sound!
Creatures like her seem to take flight in what is "potential love"
Until their eyes grow so green, such a pretty sight and lovely shade.
But it's not all their fault you see.
The world, their "potential love" taunts them so.

I would know *wink*
Her so called "potential love" is me.

Here I take a bow,
revel in the fact that I've caused her pain,
planted the seed that's grown disdain.

How could I you ask?
Well, maybe it's her heart that I no longer want.
Not my fault.
My fancies have found another.
Someone who won't make it all such a tiresome task.

Come one! Come all!
My carnival sideshow themed poem from the heartbreakers point of view. It was one of my late nite creations that I'm sure needs to be worked on some more.

Ah, the creations that come out of emotions inflicted by others who are so effin inconsiderate.

Please, all comments are welcome and greatly appreciated.
Good and bad.

Wow!
That was a neat twist. I like the perspective. I was a little lost at the beginning, but I love how you wrote it!

I liked how you made the heartbreaker's view of the heartbroken as a creature. Brings out the heartbroken's real feelings - they feel mistreated, used, diminished to that of an object, or an animal.

Dunno if that's what you were going for, but I liked it ;)
