Yolk

A missing piece

I have given everyone my love
Just to cover up my hate

I don't play games
Because usually, I lose

so don't play games with my heart
Or else nobody wins

its not a toy not a bloody ball to be tossed about
Because who would want to catch it?

Drop me and I will break but I'm the only one
Who can put me back together

you might have made the cracks and flaws
And put me down so often

but I'm the glue I wont be Humpty Dumpty.
My fall was anything but great

I do have a hollow spot; it seems I lost my yolk
The center of my being

like something or someone is missing.
Could you be my yolk?

This is kind of a weird poem so far as where it's coming from and I'm not sure how to respond to it. Mostly because of the ending i guess. Nobody can be my center. Nobody but me knows what's there. This was a really good poem. I actually thought about its meaning.

[Will]

That's what this poem is supposed to be. It's hard to find somebody who you know can be trusted and you love enough to be that center. It's a challenge, but I'm glad I've sparked some thought

[Careline]

Hmmm. Good poem.

[Will]

Thanks, Careline.

Your poem makes me look at Humpty's fate in a different way - was he heartbroken? All the men and horses cannot mend a broken heart, after one has been sitting on that tenuous wall of a relationship. Provocative, with fresh images!

[Will]

Exactly! Thanks, Rita.

[Samantha ~virginpoet]
