the repetitive creation

i found myself recreating someone in the image i like and i felt like a monster

The repetitive creation

 

 

So here I am in the phase of recreation

Honing a personality to my needs

a synthetic rein-carnation 

praying on this gullible girl to be somehow like the first.

Why do I try so hard to recreate you?

 

Were you that great?

That sublime that 

I try to rebuild our falling country

In your image entirely

 

Why would I want this collusion again?

Have my ideals really not changed?

Humans learn from their mistakes

But here I am creating another Frankenstein

I guess I hope it won’t hunt me down this time

I hope my own creation doesn't screw me over.

Again.

we often do that, even if unintentionally...

we try to change someone to suit our wants and needs...but forget what attracted us to that person in the first place...then what we have created, turns on us.

just like the monster turned on frankenstein.

"it's alive, it's alive---" but unfortunately its heart is now dead. as is hers whom we have changed.

exactly , the thing is its a reptitive struggle when will we realize we can't change a persons inherent personality to suit our dispositions lol

Peter,
This is a really well thought out and thought provoking write. As Jacob said, this is something we sometimes just do.
We are constantly trying to put square pegs in our round holes. File off a bit there, shave off some here.. And then that beautiful square we loved for being the square it was is now just another round peg. And during the infatuation stage they are perfectly willing to let them do this to them.. When the honeymoon is over and all that starry eye wears off, they begin to see themselves and what we have turned them into. This is not who they were meant to be! They were a square! How dare we do it? Weren't they good enough as they were to start with? At this point, somebody is burning Victors laboratory down.

A great piece. :)

Hi Peter, Interesting fluid write. It is difficult when someone has amazed us and we have lost them not to seek them through others. A dangerous intention though!

[Peter H]

it is very much hence the illusion to the classic Frankenstein monster tale :)

[Rhea752]

[Zelle]

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is a tragic novel.. it depicts how a person enjoy creating something and then repents its existence and the same u managed to capture with your verse.. indeed a gud write! :)

thank you br :)

[Angi]

Oh Peter. We do that too often. Why do we try and change them? It might seem to work for a short time, but it never sticks. Then we end up hurting and being hurt all over again. Angi~

[Peter H]

[quinfinn]

[Peter H]

Relationships are all about learning through errors and then gradually making allowances for and working through all the flaws, an interesting piece
