censurable
June 5, 2009
strike one, strike two, strike three, you're out
your eyes are causing me to doubt
that it was Love this was about
come on, baby, let's not shout
I see the things you're hiding, honey
don't you laugh--it isn't funny
you're always trying to outrun the
unavoidable discovery
did you really think I wouldn't find out?

I've been there and done that before too, hunnie. Loved the rhyming, keep writing :)
Well if you look up "censure" in a dictionary, you'll see that it means "to criticize or judge as blameworthy." So I wrote this thinking of a boy who lied and cheated me, and I caught him, so that's why I called the poem that. It was actually very hard for me, finding a title that worked even that well.
Thank you very much for the comment. Its fantastic to hear such positive feedback! :D
I guess I can't message you on here or anything, so thank you again.
Your poem makes me feel inspired.
The rhymes are incredible...
"your eyes are causing me to doubt
that it was Love this was about" Really reminds me of my latest ex.
He used me.. and when I was getting over the depressed stage of the break up, I reread this poem quite a bit. And it helped.
I stood up for myself like I never had after reading your poem.
So thank you for the comment, and thank you for the power to be strong.
Funny what a few simple words can create. :)

Hey, I liked your poem. The first two lines were really catchy. I don't really get the name in relation to the content (I mean overall it makes sense, though). Good job! It would be great if you could review a few of my stories/poems.
