You are prettier only when you listen to me
You are prettier only when you do as I say
You are prettier only when you keep your mouth shut
You are prettier only when you don’t think much
You are prettier only when I am happy
You are prettier only when you are by my side
You are prettier only when you stay obedient
You are prettier only when you stay loyal to me
You are prettier only when I love you
You are prettier only when things are in my favor
You are prettier only when I am all you got
You are prettier only when you owe me your happiness
You are prettier only when I want to make love to you
You are prettier only when you have me
And I m the ugliest when I have you
And to make both of us beautiful
You left me and
Now you definitely are valued and the most beautiful ♥
Jesus. Christ. Almighty.

To be honest at first I thought what is this ?? Is that the meaning of being pretty for darshith but then I redad your Prespective and the meaning of the poem and it makes sense now and it’s truly beautiful and I am glad some men like you don’t think that way. All women is beautiful in their own way, their humanity, mentality, prespectives and kindess but men choose to be blind to all that and choose define and limit their beauty and they switch the true meaning of beauty to their desires, to what they love . I really live the while idea and Prespective of the Poem and the last lines were heavenly beautiful, I am literally in love with these word who needs love when he can read or in your case write such beautiful line? I know I don’t 🙂 do you ?

I am so glad i could add some light to your days and you are right love do invades when you least expect it but a lot of people do the common mistake of searching for it and spending their live thinking about it and they don’t realize that love cannot be searched for, find or planned and it will enter your life when its turn to enter. They just need to have a little faith that it will. So, until love some we should all have the times of our lives and just wait 🙂

Oh I think you have had a good first hand experience in love 😀 and what you said was all 100% true !! Searching for love is baseless as love is faceless yet so very powerful that it can only be felt. And love invades at the right time and the most important thing is we should trust nature & God that it will bring the right person at the right time with right things to say/do to you. Life becomes futile if we search love so instead we can feel love in the million lil things out there 🙂 and your comments every mrng surely do make my day 🙂 Good day Salwa 😀

Hi Kritika – My understanding of this is that he has portrayed a man who only values a woman based on what she can do for him (i.e. very selfish). He only sees “pretty” because she fills his various needs.
When she eventually leaves him, he appreciates her even more however, it does pose the question: Is he appreciating her more because he now sees a value in her, or simply because he can no longer control her?
“I am the ugliest when I have you” is an interesting choice of words which (to me) mean that he is fighting with his conscience i.e. He knows that what he is doing is wrong and therefore feels bad.
Of course darshith0000 may have a totally different response to your comment!!!!!

I don’t believe that we can ever know life completely but rather should simply try and understand as much as we can. Life can be a harsh teacher, but if we are open minded (willing to learn), the rewards are priceless.

All the lines are from the men’s perspective. How he thinks that his life partner is pretty on what all conditions. And in the end, he reveals that his partner left him because for his conditional love. The partner did what was correct and left him to be pretty and beautiful unconditionally 🙂 The guy now realizes that his conditional self centered love has been the antagonist in his life.

HI Kritika: I used to preamble many questions with “This is probably a stupid question but ………..?” One day a person replied “There is no such thing as a stupid question …… just a stupid answer.”
If you are asking questions, you are prepared to learn and shouldn’t that always be your goal in life?
Please do not feel stupid, but rather celebrate your inquisitive mind, your ability to ask questions, and your personal growth from these experiences. You are no doubt a very special person. Believe it!

I totally agree with you. Perhaps, I expected myself to read between the lines, since there have been times when I have written poems with hidden meaning, which were not easy to comprehend myself while writing them.

Kritika – Reading between the lines is a necessary skill throughout life, but so is taking things at face value. So many people “over analyze” to a point where they become totally disconnected. i.e. I can ask you “How are you today?” Your problem would be to decide to whether to answer simply “Great thanks” , or be suspicious “Why are you asking?”, or to be totally defensive “It’s got nothing to with you”, or even to decline to answer. It is all based on you deciding whether to take my inquiry at face value, or read much more into it (reading between the lines). Poems (any writings) are much the same. If I don’t get an immediate sense of “direction”, then I start reading between the lines! Have a great day! 🙂

Great poem Darshith. It’s really nice that the person realised in the end that they were marring something so beautiful with their own selfishness. It seems he comes to terms with her walking away which is a rare but good thing, some men just get more controlling and violent at that point.
