What should be whole's two pieces, far apart,
and in between a gash that keeps on bleeding –
though scores of times I may have gone unheeding
the piercing truth at last has stabbed my heart.
The fruit I held so long, that wasn't taken,
turned old and wrinkled in my aching hand
and now it's been destroyed to make me stand
here empty-handed, undeceived and shaken.
Now never mind which path I take, I'll find
the ghastly grin of failure in my way –
there is no more escape. I've lost my day,
the hour is past and I've been left behind.

wakingDownover 10 years agoI like this, it has a feeling of melancholy that lingers that I enjoy very much.
ishtatover 10 years agoWell written. It reads as well without the third verse, but not better - I'm just making the observation.
