Love Poem: Insufficient Funds

Insufficient Funds

Insufficient funds
You do bank in your heart
My cancelled check of love
Drove us apart

Your account closed off
To any eyes but your own
And you are unlikely
To provide a loan

Makes you but a pauper to me,
Your account is worthless
As far as I can see,
No cold ATM withdrawals
No smiling teller's eyes

Seems that love
You do despise
You keep your own,
Others you disdain
Only your own,
Do you maintain...

Spendthrift of love
You'll die alone,
No one is good enough
No one will hear
Your final moan

I spend my love foolishly,
At times, I admit,
And I know,
You don't give a sh_t,

But I stand a chance,
Slim it may be,
For someone to hold my hand,
With the last light I see...

I feel sorry for you
You cheat yourself
You have no emotion,
Your soul is small

I hate to see
Your final fall
No hand for you to grasp,
No hope for you to hold,
Your soul is frigid,
Your soul is cold.
