The Jester

The Jester

 

 

You took all there was of me

without ever once

committing yourself to love.

Like an unmade bed

you stripped me of my senses,

leaving me without word

or warning.

How typical of you

to walk away,

to feel no remorse

or regret.

Someday, the king of hearts will fall

then I shall seek to be

the jester.

Tough situations call for rough play heart ache heart break life gone on so it goes best to the both of you love will bite again.

[Jennesis]

Ouch....I can feel the emptiness here, being left empty. Sometimes losing the hope of love is the hardest...

[Kelly Scheppers]

Looking back, I don't know how I got through it...but I did. And I found love again, too! Yeah, for me!! Thanks so much, Jenn!

[Jennesis]

If the painful times that make us who we are. Lessons learned, storms weathered, and the sunshines again. So happy for you. Love is the best.

Some time back someone took my heart for granted and it is like he took it and threw it to the wall and crushed the pieces, I feel this write so much and if this moment was then, I would write him such a poem and shove it down his throat.
The best revenge to such a person though, is being happy so they see they din do a thing

[Kelly Scheppers]

It truly is the best revenge, Cassie. That, and to believe that you are worthy of someone who will love you! Thank you!

Oh, I can't imagine Kelly ever doing that to anyone, you have such a kind, gentle heart. Waste no time on those who don't value, appreciate you...save the energy for those who will.

[Kelly Scheppers]

When you've been hurt, sometimes you just want the one that hurt you to hurt just as much. This was one of those times. It did make for some good angst in poetry, I think!

[Nadia Gerassimenko]

i absolutely agree, you did--so lyrically, poetically!

[Ed Hart]

even the hope of revenge (not to say justice) can turn sour on the tongue...

[Kelly Scheppers]

..it was sweet for me! Thank you, Ed!

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

Hearts mend.........in time. Heartache takes longer. Having a love given rejected and not reciprocated can either destroy one or make one stronger. I feel it made you stronger.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I believe so, too! Thank you so much for your review...nice to meet you!

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

Nice to meet you too. I've been off here for a while I'm glad to have time again.

A purge of wisdom and the best way to accept...simply by letting karma handle it as you take a breath xo

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you my dear soul...it did, and so did I! x

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

interesting my dear...simply interesting....

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, dear Queenie...so good to see you!

[R Smith]

emotional outburst Kelly and done in some style, revenge on the cards? Another fantastic write my friend :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

A little emotional healing, but all's good now!

I love this, Kelly.

The last few lines really capture the sentiment of this write. I can never understand how people can just walk away, from anyone. Surely, there must be something there. Perhaps I am naive.

I am curious though... the role of the jester... is it because you're going to look back and laugh, or is it because there will always be a sense of you wanting to cheer him up? Even after what he's done?

[Kelly Scheppers]

That he broke my heart with no afterthought, and simply walked away, made me wish the same to happen to him.

[Clara]

Indeed. I still feel that way about a few of my past relationships -- for them to feel what I have felt. Powerful write and something I relate to very well!
