No Dice

You claimed to be my friend

But your games dead-end

We said we had each other’s backs

Yet, no warning before your attacks

We took turns covering the tab

But, now you don’t pony up

I don’t mind here and there, when times are hard,

But you ain’t worth the interest on a charge card

Sorry being friends didn’t last

It’s best if we find our own paths

Friendships are a day, a season or a lifetime

Every path is tough to climb

And Letting go has a price

And staying friends: No Dice

Blood is said to be stronger than water

Family is first to be the monster

Seems like they feed on endless chaos

They won’t know me when I’m famous.

Sorry, our family grew apart

It’s best if we find our own routes

Families fight while seasons change

I’ll be hiding in a mountain range

Each path is tough enough to climb

Letting go comes at a price

And staying with family: No Dice

I was used to being made a fool

But, then I learned to think it through

What seemed like a good deal

Turned out, too good to be real

And wasn’t worth the price

Sorry, the deal wasn’t real

It’s best to turn around and leave

Bartering is scary on the city’s floor

But so is swiping a card at any ol’ store

Each path is tough enough to climb

Saying no comes at a price

And buying a bad deal: No Dice

 

No Dice, No Dice, No Dice

excellent... some people do not learn... it is so much better when you know when to cut your losses... I am lucky... I found the woman of my dreams and married her... going on 9 years in January. This is beautifully composed. Your feelings come across clear and crisp. Your message has an unusually intense clarity, which is the mark of a good writer. It is neither too much, nor deficient. excellent job.

Very cool! I love it! You have such a nice smooth flow, it was a joy to read.
Hey, I have family like that, and a bum friend to boot!

When your feel like overused without taking turns who's next dice to roll. Then it's alright to take time away or breakaway and be by yourself. Where giving up is the only right choice.

Powerful opening and closing verses makes solid book ends. I like this very much, the voice is kick a*s strong...no nonsense but there's some real wisdom in your words too. Really appealing writing. Cheers Starz

This was such a well contructed read. The message you have protrayed, i can truly relate to.
Relationships come and go but when you meet the special one, they stay and you both grow old together.
The first verse I really related to well and it hit me really hard.

Very well versed - packed a punch behind it, I have to say.

Mark.

I liked the complete poem and the ending was perfect.
"I was used to being made a fool
But, then I learned to think it through
It seemed like a good deal
But, was it too good to be real
And It may not be worth the price
Sorry, I am all out of dice"
Sometime we must let go and find a better place to be. I liked the lines above a lot. Thank you Sarah for sharing the excellent poetry.

This is so beautifully written! It's so sad and I can really relate:
"Sorry it didn’t work out
It’s best if we find our own routes
Some friendships last a day, a season or a lifetime
Each path is tough enough to climb
Letting go comes at a price
And our friendship has lost its dice"

So nicely penned. Friendship can break your heart aswell
