Jay O'Neal Poet Rhyme

The End Game

Monuments all around
our plot bare ground.
You used to be my best friend.
Now
I’m left with nothing
to shelter me from the wind.
You say times of loss,
the wounds that wont mend.
A lock box for your heart,
no chance the key
will be handed to me again.

New friends abound.
Looks like you been getting around.
Nights out on the town,
no longer home bound.
This I’m truly glad,
your anxiety vary sad.
Although a little mad,
I never got the chance the others have.

Hurt and lonely
I’m paper.
I’ve cut myself to shreds.
Now frantically taping,
the strips of me together again.
Actively seeking the pieces
I can’t seem to mend.

You are origami.
Three dimensional,
your beginning to stand out.
What beautiful folds you have made.
Carefully crafted.
I always knew you’d make that grade.
I don’t feel played.
Though it hurts just the same,
as we play out,
The end game

Bl Devnath August 11, 2011 at 3:26 PM This is really a good write of 'The end game', read it and enjoyed it. Love is real where other things are abnormal beyond limits. It will take time to reach to the perfect civilization, my friend. The world is growing, not yet grown up. Time is coming. Please don't mind, I have expressed my own feeling. God bless us all. bl
