Soul Division

Look at how times have changed
I remember simple things,
when you and I are rearranged
you'll mirror love in diamond rings
and I'm reflected when you're not around
Guess I'll think about where we are now

Sell your souls for cubicles,
to hide behind some decimals
Divided by the chemical that's
swimming in your head
If I was so sensible then,
how come I am miserable
I wouldn't sound so cynical if
love was not an investment
cuz everything is corporate

I guess I just get tired of it

Oh my how the times have changed
I just wanna stay the same
You mirror love in diamond rings
but I don't see your reflection,
in anything

Hah!! O my gosh!! My stomach is rumbling with laughter. Nope buddy you ain't a cynic you have become a realist.. damn!! Everybody wants something in return for love. Nobody here loves selflessly( atleast i have not seen anyone) . I liked the ending.. - diamond rings are costly but true love is even more precious.. ;) keep writing

Thank you, I'm glad u liked the ending! Was trying to capture the turning of fantasy to reality in ones mind to poetry, in a sense. Like, does she love my money?? In a daydream

[Zakari Schmidt]

Like what's real, my love or my bank account

[Sophy Freebirds]

Obviously gold diggers are gonna opt for bank account... lol :D..

[Zakari Schmidt]

Lol I'd opt for gold daggers

Lol!

This was another great! Today I was actually thinking about how love/relationships can become "political"/ and your use of corporate reminded me.

[Zakari Schmidt]

Thanks I'm glad you liked it! :) figured that was something real, as far as subject matter. It's like seeing money in a mirror or social security numbers. We are what we conceive in our mind

Nice use of rhyme. I love how you ended the poem - it ties together beautifully.

[Zakari Schmidt]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the ending:) it actually started as part of the beginning in rough draft form, ha

[Eliza Mae]

You were right to make it the ending ;)

[Zakari Schmidt]

I'm glad somebody agrees :P
