Take out the trash

Over and over in my mind I search.
Unsure of the tenacious approach and
The series of beings selling lies through propaganda.
I am left in this pit of clever deception with lovers going
Systematically into an abyss of over zealous new lovers
Who envy my eloquent ability to deceive them.

On and on I will continue to take out the trash
Here and there little pieces of yesterday's pain
And suffering of a sun that shown so long ago
Burned out by the torment that you challenged me with.

Likes and dislikes of new replacing old and change eradicating the estranged
Trash only gets picked up when you finally leave it out on the curb
And yes it has been a long time since my dumpster was emptied


So here I am dusting my craze for a new pencil
Writing this list of an early demise


Hope the trash man doesn't leave it behind

We humans have a habit of holding on to that which has no value. Thanks for reminding us that we need to " take the trash out" every once in awhile.

Very well written, I like the flow and my favorite line is the last.

What a wonderful metaphor. This is really good work. I like this a lot.
