One Shot Wednesday....


.

.
When did my jokes stop being funny?
When did our love depend upon money?
When did we start fighting at the drop of a hat?
When did my cute butt become suddenly fat?
When did I become evil because of my snoring?
When did my advances become selfish and boring?
Our once Grand Illusion has turned into a sham....
Way too much water, has gone over the dam!

.

.
If you have a short story, poetry, or prose in your head.
Post it on your blog, and go tell the One Stop Poetry Crew...Here!
See Ya Tomorrow....Peace!!!

Whoa... this one really hits home. Fierce, G-Man.

One Prayer Girl said...

You're killing me G-Man......too many questions with too much truth to face and too many sad answers.

.....and once the water is over the dam, there is no bringing it back.

This is beautiful, but heartbreaking.

Did you write this about me? You've captured that mid-life falling apart crisis feeling perfectly.

Mine is here. http://razzamadazzle.wordpress.com/2010/10/19/song-of-my-heart/

I can imagine the dust-up that would arise were any one of those questions asked. Love the last line.

Mona said...

So many questions, probably one answer : Marriage!

Ya know poetry on paper is eloquent and inspiring. Living the stuff we (poets) write is another ball of wax.

You have evoked alot of genuine emotion through this my friend.

There are many who appreciate you a great deal.

Hugs from the Moon

TALON said...

Oh, you tugged my heartstrings with this one, G-Man. Yes, there is that nasty flip side...

A sad poem, but a great one.

Dianne said...

Ah Ha! I was right all along,
other people do feel this way!

ooops, I didn't mean that.

Hahaha, time to take inventory, 50 - 25 equals 25.
50 + 25 equals 75,
I think I have 5 more before I decide.......

Oh G-Man, You and C make a sad, but amazingly poetic pair. Love the rhymes, but feel for you with the meanings behind them. Be well

PattiKen said...

I commented last night. But I just noticed that One Shot's Mr. Linky says: "G-Man (fixed)"

I didn't know you were broken... ;-)

Ben Langhinrichs said...

You captured the sadness and mystery behind why two can be so close and yet grow so far apart. Very sad when it happens.
