Wtf

When things fail to make the start
then the pleasure of the end 
takes the awful load of broken
promises enhanced in bold
of laughter, turned cold

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Sad, but very well done. It's not a clerihew, why not just call it free verse?
