A Poem About A Movie - Indie Ink Challenge

I think I am hooked. I can't stop signing up for the Indie Ink weekly challenges. I am having too much fun!

My challenge this week comes from Katri and it's awesome: A poem inspired by the last movie you saw

The last movie I saw just happened to be out of the trusty RedBox and was "Love and Other Drugs" with Jake Gyllenhaal (yum) and Anne Hathaway. Here is my take on the challenge. Hopefully it gives you an idea of what the plot of the movie is.


I play the players
With an innocent smile
No time for connections
It’s my body they want anyways
And he is no exception

We met under false pretenses
The truth not as important as intentions
His charm and his words
Were no match for me
He never stood a chance

To proclaim sincerity
Falling in love
These are things I just don’t do
And I won’t accept them
From him or anyone

Something to do
A way to pass time
Until my body betrays me
The sickness winning
Ending my game
Sending him on his way with its ugliness

He says he can handle it
That it doesn’t matter
But the truth is his love is conditional
He only wants to be with me
If he can fix me

But he can’t
No one can
This disease bends to no man
And neither will I
I will deal with this on my own
I won’t, no, I can’t let anyone in
