Bankrupt

No warranty came along with their hearts.

I've musta lost a dozen homes;

Ugh,

But they were the ones who had

Foreclosed this love of mine.

Loan, after loan, after loan,

They each fell through.

That's what they were.

Alone.

Is that what I am?

Reckless abandonment...

But hey,

I'll be alright.

At least,

That's what

I always

Tell

My

Self.

Nice writing my man, I enjoyed it. Nothing wrong with telling ourselves we will survive. Learning from past challenges, I wear my scars as badges of honor.

Lovely writing, i really loved it

[FIN]

Wonderful metaphor about lost; and continuously searching for—love, yet falling short.

Nice job, Sin; I quite enjoyed this simplistically laid out and expressed piece. It captured the emotions quite nicely in words... well done, Mr. Poet.

Much love,

LR

Sometimes the only thing we can do is cash out and cut our loses, but you can always reapply! I admire the strength in this piece, its a solid work, but then again its you :)

It's a hard thing to lose people

And even harder when they live

Just up the block

...

In the next town over,

Across the country,

Or beyond the hills.

...

We are all alone in this life

Whether we have people who care

Or not.

...

Whether we have the opportunity

To share in it's marvel

...

Or we wind up alone

With bittersweet dreams

And writers block.

...

The worst times

Are almost always spent alone

...

And those who survive

Solitary confinement

Come out knowing things

That most will never understand.

...

Its a wisdom

That comes from suffering

And everybody in this life

Can choose how they want

To spend it.

...

(fantastic writing btw)

(I generally like underground s**t)

(but this impressed the hell out of me)

Sometimes we think the only way to survive is taking a loan from other and never returning it. It works for a while, but let's face it: to be fair in the love game, we should be investing our own properties on this.

hehe love sucks

[Nessly]

Well-written! I do suggest changing "I've" in the second line to "I" since "I have must" doesn't make sense. A good read!

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you for thinking so, I used "I've" because it was past tense and a situation I tend to avoid now...

The lies we tell ourselves in order to move to the next disaster.

Touche, thank you for reading.

[Deandra Dawn]

It was my pleasure.
