Scrambled ( Eggs)

My mind it rambles on, it spews out

Thoughts and rhymes but, they are not focused it's scrambled

Like scrambled eggs in a frying pan

I need a decoder ring, just to remember, who I am

All I want is to be held, by my lost lover

Man; that woman of mine, she really did me in

Broke my heart, clouded my soul, and  destroyed my mind

Made me void, of sexual contact and /or attraction

My Pride now shriveled and meek no love will I seek

Growing cold, to  human contact and fearful

I pray for some kind of miracle, I have no clue as  to what it may be

What could get me, out of this, my frying pan 

This deep, dark cast iron, haze of sizzling depression

Could it be? Money, somewhere, or somebody?

I don't know and I don't care! Why does she get to me ?

She goes on living unharmed all day long, while I shrivel up and burn

She blew it!  Why do I feel so damn guilty? She left you 

You idiot!  it says, once an awhile, I just can't conceive it, I held up the trust
 
I had no unwanted lust, for anyone but, her

I can't let go of all the Grand Illusions, I held for her and for me

For Us

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: U.S. A. Indiana, Valparaiso, USA

Favorite Poets: Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Carl Sandburg these I have read some And so Many More. I have no Favorite or any that I dislike. Whom I consider to be poets; of course there are many Dark and hateful souls, who would cry out and to I will lend an ear, but some. They just leave a awful taste in my heart that I can not bear to read twice. Let alone as many times I would do normally; as I must.

You have taken the first step in writing you anger, sorry and pain out, title was good it got my curiosity going as to what was scrambled.I have often ask myself the question "why do I feel the guilt" you have expressed your self quite well in this poem Chrys
