Why Me?

by Daniel Milano   Sep 29, 2007


I had a girlfriend who was greater than great
She was gorgeous, she always stayed in shape
her weight was perfect
and her personality was perky
it was fantasy in motion
hopefully things would keep working
but i could sense disaster beginning grow faster
sneaking below the surface just lurking
soon to explode and cause devastation
want to escape, its too late, have to face it, embrace it, taste it, then with haste, just waste it,
then grin and be gracious,
Cause i just made it through without things getting gory
Enough with the talking is what your thinking right,
So anyways as i was saying...here's the rest of the story,
I had things the way i wanted them,
I was living it up, until about a week ago in the morning,
I woke up sorely so early my hair was a mess, tangled and curly,
hungover from the night before,
drank a entire forty, now I'm tired, dizzy and snoring,
work is in an hour but I'm coughing and hurling,
so i skipped work and slept in
i never miss work but this is an exception
ill be better soon.

The next day i awoke smiling and sun shining,
birds chirping and nothings hurting,
so i guess its back to work again
phone rings i answer it
its my boss yelling, his words are rancid,
Your Fired!
But sir i was just hired
Cry me a River kid, your done
but sir I've only just begun!
Click, beep
the line went dead,
Darn, looks like alcohol ruined me again,
My girlfriend walks in and hugs me and loves me
i tell her the news right away
that i was fired for the second time in just a few days,
she just looks at me as tears fill her eyes
its swells as she cries then they drop and they dry,
she says good-bye
but forever this time,
she disappears through the door,
i follow to find her and apologize,
i yell her name but to my surprise,
she's gone already
i curse the world and scream in pain,
its almost unreal, headaches blister my brain
i grab my hair and tear it
I'm dying inside i start swearing,
people tell me to stop you don't see me caring
why me?
love feels great until its ripped from you
and thrown into the fire in front of you
Why me?
Why cant i start again? refresh my feelings and heart again...
but i cant and its worse then broken bones that won't mend

Look at me I'm sweating in torn clothing crying
and its Like i said....
WHY ME?

    This is an interesting poem. Long poems would be easier to read if they were broken up into small stanzas. But you have a clever way with turning words into art!
