++ ending ++

i bought an ending down

at the pawn shop today

my story becoming

a cold bitter read


i bought an ending down

at the pawn shop today

the hero is not

the man i meant him to be


i bought an ending down

at the pawn shop today

the romance has faded

the world has turned gray

 

 

i bought an ending down

at the pawn shop today

 

the rewrites keep leading

 

on down the same road


i bought an ending down

at the pawn shop today

no sweet resolution

all tied up with a bow


i bought an ending down

at the pawn shop today

of steel smoke and oil

the weight is a hole


i bought an ending down

at the pawn shop today

Hey bud- thanks for reviewing one of my poems. I like this a lot; just the thought of being able to buy something as abstract (and un-buyable) as an ending is awesome, especially at a pawn shop, where people go to sell things they don't want anymore. I guess someone got stuck with someone's thrown-away ending.

Neat idea!

shall we all sing THE END!!

well, if you are so down that you had to buy a second hand ending then return it till you can afford your own ending. tut tut, second hand ending, not nice.
be original, have your own.

great write. thanks
