No need to parlay


Sheeee

 

She said a little that  meant a lot .

It was goodbye in the parking lot .

He stared down .. his boots were scuffed like his soul.

There was no way to speak and hold on to control.

 

Ambushed at the last minute .

There’s no way to win it .

This was just life , she wasn’t his dream .

 

So maybe this one wasn’t happy or right .

Tomorrow would be good , there was nothing to be gained by the fight .

As she walked away the good memories were alright . His scuffed up soul could use a rest tonight .

Hey , it’s been a couple years in this site . Right now I’m just settling down and am going to work on getting out a better product . The stuff that is obviously trash will probably be booted. I really have no beef with anyone .... A lot of what I write is about working out a particular demon . A lot is about trying new methods based on the feedback on the poems . .
