My Eyes on the ground, <br />Littered it with tears and scorn <br />The remnants of him <br /> <br />Rotting on pavement. <br />A lurid pattern of slime; <br />Horrid, grotesque yuck <br /> <br />I abandon it <br />Baking on the grey cement <br />To feed some poor ant. <br /> <br />What a farce my Love! <br />That yourself has so become, <br />In exultation! <br /> <br />Upgraded to this <br />High position of status <br />In the earth worm’s eye <br /> <br />Ah, if you could see <br />His joyous feast upon thee! <br />Undiscerning eyes <br /> <br />Rapturous, as he <br />Lowers himself to embrace <br />Your wonderful gift! <br /> <br />A toothless mouth of <br />Mucus, opening to grasp <br />All you rejected, <br /> <br />Dear one, <br />I smile at the fate; <br />Your words of such profound love <br />Reduced to this mush <br />Of sad superficiality <br /> <br />Where will it end now? <br />I walk away into the hot sun <br />Like a mirage Fading into bleakness and <br />Leave behind my spit, my cares, <br />And my world, sans everything<br /><br />Keighley Hastings<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/uninspiring-love/
