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.

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

Thank you. After rereading this morning I felt it was somewhat arrogant, hence the changes.
