Open

I came to you with a heart full of love

open hands brimming with wishes and delightful scenes

what a fool I became

for you were so willing to take

as long as I was willling to give

and give I did

you little tease

reeling me in 

until you managed to,

throw away the please

in the center of your world 

there was room for only one

and I,

hung around beyond

begging for crumbs

watching as time rolled by

hoping against hope, I guess

that maybe 

on that certain day

you would notice 

and 

we'd be as 

I'd always imagined

but you, 

the mastadon of smooth

made no time for such

nonsence.

instead 

pressed on and on and on

and I?

fell behind

continuing to stray by the sidelines ...

Do you know what the definition of a mastadon is in the urban dictionary? Take a look which will provide greater insight to this piece.

Aloha Jacob,

Thank you for your time. In this piece, I use Romeo as sarcasm... make sense??

Hope so,

alisa ;-)

yes, but Romeo at least did love Juliet..

this guy needs to be booted far and away...

i love the line, "mastadon of smooth"

that is such cool phrasing...

"begging for crumbs"

he should be begging..and someday might.
