After the beep

by Samuel Ernst   Jun 7, 2015


We haven't talked in 7 years,
I just wanted to check on you,
Life hasn't been good,
I need someone to talk to,
I lost my job last night,
Haven't been paid yet,
Landlord's tripping on rent,
I pray he doesn't cash my bad check,
I'm 27 now, I don't dream anymore,
Everything in Iraq is coming back,
I stay awake crying most nights,
Waiting for life to cut me a little slack,
My girl ditched out,
Says the screams where too much,
Left me for my boy Tommy,
Told me she always had a crush,
I'm so far down, I lost my way up,
I don't know what to do,
I lost my God along the way,
I'm seriously missing you,
Well I'll call you later,
Tell Tyler to behave,
Give Stacey my love,
Put flowers by mom's grave,
Love you man.

    Oh God, I hope this ain't true cause if it is it broke my heart! :/ Man life ain't fair and this probably true to some person in the world right about now. It's sad that a girlfriend walks away because of how a person is horribly broken inside because of what he has seen instead of staying because she loves the person, but no in this poem the girl had a crush on your friend and that's just wrong, just way wrong.

    This poem flowed all the way down, made you feel for the person in the poem (which is so sad, so it's in the right section), and took you on a journey that makes you want to weep.

    Great job my friend 5/5
