No Winner

This time when they played
There was no laughter to follow .
They pulled so hard the rope broke in two,
And each took their piece.

She tied hers in a knot around her waist
To display her part of their undoing.
The edges of the loose end snagged and frayed
As she let it drag like a tail behind her.

He shouted, "I was right! I won!"
She conceded without looking back,
And kept walking,
Tears streaming down her face.

She knew when he turned that critical eye on himself
He'd experience the same pain.
She realized with that pain would come grief,
And clearly there was no winner.

  1. Yep, today I'm playing the part of the drama queen. Forgive this nonsense. I am really sad, and for today I'm permitting myself this role. Thank goodness for therapy tomorrow!

  6. It wasn't a bunch of crap at all. It's very good. Sometimes the winner doesn't "win" anything at all.

    Love,

  7. I am with Janie and see it as insightful.

    Blogs work well for that anyway--allow you to say what you want so it will stop dancing around in your mind.

    I hope your weekend goes well Stephanie.

  8. Чтобы сэкономить энергию, стоимость и ресурсы, не сажайте больше урожая в вашем саду, чем вы в состоянии использовать. Если вы не планируете продавать ваши урожаи на рынке, посадка больше, чем вы можете использовать будет просто в конечном итоге тратить ресурсы и пространство в вашем саду. Если у вас есть дополнительное пространство, посмотрите на посадку различных культур, а не.play bazaar satta king
