Jo Bien Poet Verse

Losing Game

I thought that I was in control
and my mind dominated my heart
but I can see that wasn't true 
and should have from the start

there's nothing for a future
there's nothing that never was
a realm of intangible aspects
your heart's not capable of

I should have seen the truth
it was written plain on the wall
a dark path of misdirection
for a heart that was enthralled

do what's right for you
and I will do the same
the wounds will heal eventually
I'm  quitting this losing game

Madelynn Tj November 12, 2009 at 7:34 AM I love that you threw the emotion out there, immediately. I think this poem has an element of honesty and rich depth-that's actually hard to come by nowadays, without the thought feeling forced. Perfect piece for every reader to relate to in some aspect, as well! Really enjoy this.
