Only The Good – Poetry 1

The Rule of One

broken promises
unrequited love
indifferent reactions

worth ignored
changes unnoticed
needs unmet

be it intentional
as in lack of care
or unintentional
as in self-absorbed

or… merely procrastination
on automatic pilot

the damage is done
as the non-receiver
must dig deep to find
just cause for non-depression

when all facts point at little worth.

    I think digging deep is the bit of good because I picture someone never giving up, shoving the shovel into the soil and lifting it out, throwing the crap away and trying again, hoping to find something.

    Sad, at first, by uplifting, too!
