Too Worn Thin to Begin Again
(Written for the Competition "Failed Love")
A muse
(No longer)
Amused
By frantic
Late night
“Romantic”
Delusion
(Perhaps
misnomered
“love”)...
Confusion
Ensuing;
Soul mate
Shoe shopping
For a better fit

Up(dated)
Legit;
While I sit
On the shelf
Hands tucked deep
In anticipation,
Heart waiting
To beat! beat! beat!
Or be beaten
And all I dare
Is stare;
Glaring at my feet
In defeat

I like that you got that out of it. It is probably pretty accurate. I was just reminiscing on the feelings from experiencing this kind of thing over and over and over...hahaha
Thanks dear Katja.

In addition to the palpable loss and hope, the form drops like a flood down the cheeks. Best of luck in the comp!

I am glad you picked up on the form, it wasn't my exact motive but it was something similar. Thanks Ahavati!

Loved this. Very witty and frighteningly accurate regarding the subject, every line added another bittersweet amount of depth. Enjoyed this a lot!

really like the beat and musicality of this piece - if there is justice it should be a winner - such a well written, thought out piece :-)

Thank you kind friend! I am glad you noticed the rhythm. Unfortunately, I didn't win but the winner was a fantastic poem by Taryn. I feel pretty good about it. haha. Thank you David!

I love your writing Sam. This feels like an experiment on the short form and emotional realism. I feel like we're both taking a little trip down this road. Great expression. Sorry you didn't win the comp ;( But Taryn did rock it!

Thank you! Taryn did a great job. I am trying to get back into the practice of writing more regularly. It is hard some days. I need to catch up on reading too! I try to get on here more and have a lot to catch up on! :) You have been busy!
