PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Your one-track mind never quits 

Till you can lay claim to the very best. 

What works for you is what fits 

And you have little patience for the rest. 

I might have known that to do the same 

Would put me in a place to be shattered. 

All at once I was the one to blame 

Like none of your choices ever mattered. 

You’re well-served by your tunnel vision 

Until you regret your decision.  

And I don’t have the heart to give you mine, 

For a second more put it on the line. 

I thought we’d be together till the end 

But it’s been so long since you’ve been a friend. 

We’ve arrived at more than an impasse –  

Together we’re just fire and glass. 

I took a mental vacation, 

Stopped questioning what I may lack. 

My only source of frustration 

Is I let this train jump the track. 

I noticed my lack of self-respect 

When you clumsily knocked me off the shelf. 

Well, did I not invite your neglect 

Thinking of you before I did myself? 

You can’t help what’s in your nature to do, 

But it’s led to darkness I can’t walk through. 

No, I don’t have the heart to give you mine, 

For a second more put it on the line. 

I thought we’d be together till the end 

But it’s been so long since you’ve been a friend. 

We’ve arrived at more than an impasse –
