Gentleman

Noted Nest

By Ila Jain



I met a gentleman 

who was gentle for all the woman 

he used to tell me fables

then he used to tell me lies that people label 


he used buy me flowers for me

brought me a ring and took me to coffee


he used to walk alone in the midnight

and asked me to not tell anyone the truth of his life


he confessed he is in love with me 

came home, and we had a glass of whiskey.


I accepted his proposal nicely

because I was falling for him slowly


we were two young sweethearts 

more like kids and a little brat


we were happy with each other

until I don’t get to know the secret about my lover


the fables were the truth of his life

how he killed different women with different lies


now it was my turn to die

I smiled whenever he lied


As I told I met a gentleman who was gentle to all the women

With the gentleness of him he took the life of all many innocent
