Spitting Nails

A Poem by Gomer LePoet
"

life is wonderful if you get off on rejection

"
 

Spitting Nails


I'm back with avengeance

I'm spitting nails

been kicked in the stomach

and all that entails


been pushed to the back

the back of the line

told I'm not needed

my offers declined


feeling so good

no longer being wanted

used up my energy

being confronted


said I understood

but that was a lie

offered myself up

but told bye bye


so this is the end

is that all there is

insignificant waste

like a pop-bottles fizz


what should I have expected

you know I wasn't the first

there was someone before me

I was just used to quench the thirst


now you probably think

that this is just about you

there's more to the story

there are other things too


my services are not needed

go back to the street

unless you get needy

and then you'll retreat


the attitude will change

you'll find a need for me

and of course I'll still be here

I've got no place to be


so the chapter has ended

the book incomplete

the romance is over

I like this piece very much. I know the feeling all too well. LIke a yo-yo you're there and gone again, and it is a very painful thing to do. I wish it were as easy as control alt delete... if only.

Be careful with the minor grammar errors, they really detract from the peace. "A vengeance" is two words, not one, and there are a few other little things through this. Remember that each time a little correction is made you strengthen the work ten fold!

Love your ending to this tale, "hit alt ctrl delete"...what a great way to combine our internet life with our real life. Your rhymes are fun to read.

Gomer, this is too funny, but yet it could be true as well.
I like this, very well written.
