Final Fall

Paul Bell

She called them the sad days

The wasted days

Hated days

Moving on days

 

He called them the hard days

The bad days

Sad days

Moving on days

 

She blamed him

Bloody men

Mental torture

Good riddance

 

He blamed her

Bloody women

No respect

Goodbye

 

She wanted love

Commitment

Wanted him

Needed him

 

He needed love

Needed space

Needed time

Wanted her

 

She couldn’t move on

Wouldn’t move on

Hated time

Hated him

 

He drank the bar

Numbed the pain

Saw the train

No need to explain

 

She took the call

Final fall

Found the pills

Ended it all.

    In short bites the poem is eaten and digested. Bit by bit differences are spit out and the commonalities outweighed by the dissimilarity tips the scale. A tragic read and uniquely presented. Loved it a fave

      Love can be cruel.

        Indeed it can the balance is that it hurts as much on the one side as it provides extasy on the other. You are most welcome
