Loser of Your Own Game


Get in your one last kick to the head
Spittle flying from your grimacing lips
Eyes lost in rage, insanity shining behind coke-bottle glasses
Take aim
Take your time

It’s the last chance you’ll get

Feel the power surge
Rear back
and release

Savor the moment for it is your last chance
This is the last time
for you and me

Tomorrow I’ll be gone
Like the air that releases as your boot connects,
I’ll be gone

And you’ll be feeling the punch this time
I know it will hit your gut
wound your pride
and rip your heart wide
Like a salmon belly after the first cut,
your guts will fall to the floor

You held the cards but I won the game
I am counting my blessings
While you count the minutes that you will never
- Not ever -
see me again

Second chances yet jerks who continue being jerks have no more right for they never, never wanted to change. It is one thing for a person to make a mistake and turn away from it and another to be without remorse and blatantly be a p$%%^

Sounds like this game player needs to spend some time in prison.
Then maybe he can find a new love there, who might like being rough too.
Great write tough read.
