"Never judge a book by its cover"

His chattering drives me as mad as at a hatter.
His humor unseemly.
He dearth’s the ability to listen.
Depressing me like a drooping rose.

Conversations ending in a disagreement.
Leaving me to shed tears, shunned.

Consistently covering up truth.
Sweeps me under the rug when I want his attention.
Dating his computer, not me.

Constantly disguising his true affection.
Exposes acrid precision with ease
He casts away my emotions as frivolous.
Our love is a heat wave….burning in my heart.

The author's comments:
This is a metaphoric poem, showing how my relationship isn't what it is in real life. I hope readers don't take it literally, and see the meaning behind it.
