It Was A Good Day To Not Give A F**k

It Was A Good Day To Not Give A F**k

A Poem by John Patrick Robbins AKA Gonzo

Maybe it's me that just simply no longer give's a f**k about you.

Maybe I never cared to begin with.

Fairy tales can keep you company but not as good as a warm bottle and a cold night.

 

Sometimes it haunts me other times it simply just flows a summer breeze through

 some worn garment on a clothes line.

Do  we regress or simply die to all true passion my dear.

 

Maybe a tease of nothing beats the agony of a whole lot of nothing you truly own.

Well aren't you peach in a apple orchard of empty promises and a nothing's reprise.

 

The old man who always seems to be part of the park bench scene.

Has vanished from view leaving this place to be taken by me.

 

Now we all fall down simple laughter from distant voices leads me

to recall.

Emptiness within is all I've ever claimed to understand.

 

Pain will deceive you to take shelter in far worse arms.

maybe we should take shelter in the pain instead?

 

Dreamers always find this world to harsh to understand.

Maybe that's why I never cared for sleep to begin with

I admit it. I was curious when I read the title on your page. I don't drop many F bombs but sometimes when I see one I'm drawn like a June bug to one of those electric zappers. And the poem starts out as I would have expected, gritty - conversational - no heady romance or fluff but then it gets deep. Deeper than I expected - this mix of angst and heartache and a hard lesson learned - and I found myself completely drawn in. great poem.
