Out of sight
Out of sight is out of mind
You never look, you never find
Just go through life as if you're blind
Coz out of sight is out of mind
As the saying goes, it's all about you
Your wants, your needs, your wishes come true
Who cares if your selfishness colours me blue
Everybody must know, it's all about you
No care what I think, so I'm out in the cold
You shall have your own way, or so I am told
Will it always be thus, even as I grow old
Where my views and opinions, are out in the cold
Just keep heaping it on, how much more can I take
Before life takes its toll, and my back starts to break
Take my place here for granted, and my love you forsake
For I tell you quite freely, not much more will I take
If I give you an inch, you will take one more mile
As you gain all you want, without cracking a smile
It's a purposeful game, that you play all the while
All those inches add up, foot by foot, mile on mile......
You never look, you never find
Just go through life as if you're blind
Coz out of sight is out of mind
As the saying goes, it's all about you
Your wants, your needs, your wishes come true
Who cares if your selfishness colours me blue
Everybody must know, it's all about you
No care what I think, so I'm out in the cold
You shall have your own way, or so I am told
Will it always be thus, even as I grow old
Where my views and opinions, are out in the cold
Just keep heaping it on, how much more can I take
Before life takes its toll, and my back starts to break
Take my place here for granted, and my love you forsake
For I tell you quite freely, not much more will I take

Cool effort, J.
Hey man, well-written piece!
Love that the protagonist gives a good ole rant without getting all soppy...
Fave line:
*Who cares if your selfishness colours me blue
Pen on, poet!
Thanks for sharing :-)
Peace

Ps. Quick query, if I may?
Is it your (stylistic?) intent to omit question marks?
Just askin'.....

Excellent poem. I feel you! Selfish, egotistical, spoilt, uncaring users and abusers, irk the living daylights out of me. I am sure they don't know love at all, let alone like! Best not to have them in your life...all they do is bring you down.

Apologies, got so caught up in the whole episode, I forgot to mention that these are my thoughts. I cannot offer critique, as I am not much of a Poet.
