Boiled Eggs

Not your typical pot of eggs.

Eggs,

Water,

A pot,

That's all that's needed

But for you

Lies,

Games,

And manipulation

Is whats in your pot

I'm boiling eggs

And you're boiling trouble,

What kind of breakfast is that?

Soon you'll realize

That all your fun

Will rise to the surface

 The heat 

And trouble 

Will cause the eggs to explode,

Because of  all the harm you've done to it

There's no point in eating breakfast,

I'm no longer hungry for you...

I thought about this while boiling eggs 10 minutes ago.

The structure is great. I like how you build it like layers. Love how you compare the antagonist to the boiling eggs. :) Really great metaphor!

The last line brings it all together great. What's the point of it all. The speaker is done with the protagonist and his eggsplosive ways. ;)

Thank you for sharing this. It's really a wonderful piece of poetry.
