Gentleman

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
