PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As I sit here wondering

if time will run out on me

before the ink in this pen



Is the cost of running away from love

higher than the price you pay

when it finds you?



Both of these options

are very expensive on the soul

All of that figuring and balancing

trying to determine

one's weight in gold



Being broke

is a very unnerving feeling

And I'm not just talking about empty pockets

That ain't nothing any job can't fix

An empty heart is more difficult to fill

For some of us

love is a commodity that don't always mix



And it is not as if one can discover

this fact right away

Not when time which is never on your side

so diligently keeps the truth at bay

I think they call this little discovery

life

You know

the one better known as a  b*tch

Yeah

the one saturated in strife

You know

the one that causes you to stress

and to itch

Scratching and rubbing

wearing your skin so thin

Can you last longer

than the ink in this pen..

I was just wondering...
