Charlie Knowlton Poet Lyric

Hearts Like An Egg

They`re heart`s like an egg forever hardboiled,
                        friends that betrayed, dreams that were foiled.                         
                        Protecting it`s shell and those whom were loyal,
                        toys of their youth, their health, all now spoiled spoiled.
                      
                        They`re heart`s like an egg forever hardboiled.
                        Decisions, regrets, a life of turmoil,
                        choices, bad bets, and days of hard toil,
                        they fall to their beds, body in coil.
                        
                        They`re heart`s like an egg, forever hardboiled.
                        Doing their best only turning up roiled.
                        Controversial at best, always embroiled,
                        and they no longer fear, being planted in soil.

Line Gauthier April 14, 2018 at 9:17 AM I love this poem, Charlie. Beautiful flow. Evidence of a very seasoned life. We can all relate and it is proof of much wisdom when one is ready or the final trip. You deserve another beer, my friend. A lovely poem. Line xx Charlie Knowlton April 14, 2018 at 12:44 PM Thank you. After rereading this morning I felt it was somewhat arrogant, hence the changes.
