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 Date: 4/14/2018 9:17:00 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.
