Love Poem: Seeing Red

Seeing Red

a trilonnet

My naïveté  inspires this rhyme.
You lied to me,  I turned my head,
you stole my keys,  the day we met.

No accident, you made the climb -
two flights of stairs with breakneck tread
for red Corvette in greed you sweat.

You took my wheels, committed crime
because you love the color red?
I love my car but greater yet

I  love the fact you're doing time
while I embrace my keys instead.
This time in jail you will regret

and if you steal my car again
you'll lie in state till who knows when.
