Unwanted

I got the idea from Lady Eileen's unwanted post.


My unwanted tears seem to fall
there’s no one I can call
why, just the hell with it all

My friends have all forgotten me
only time they came around
is when I was buying the drinks?
they were just bums anyway

My family all moved to greener pastures
they decided it was best
who in the hell is the decision maker?

My woman had too many lovers
I didn’t need her for sure
I was tired of buying her new curtains
so now she’s been long gone
with all her painting supplies

My shadow doesn’t even follow me anymore
I never see him back there
can’t remember if he’s gray or black

If I was wanted, I would just complain.

Fiction, fiction, fiction.........
Art by me...

excellent write! love the charactertures in your art...
Reviewed by Heather Stevens 2/11/2003
Your very realist and down to earth, yet I don't care too much for the flow. At one moment you’re rhyming and the next it kind of jerks, like when you are asking a question. Questions are important because it makes the reader think; it just seems like it could be smoother.

Ron, it is so strange how life moves along and the things that happen to us on a daily basis that effect our future. And we seem to loose everything that we found comforting and regular ... till we are left without even our shadow. I understand this Ron and how you feel, for I have felt that way too. Bill
