“Excuse me.” I said.
“I’d like to close this account.
You see, I wrote a check,
And I know I deposited a large sum
Greater than what was withdrew
And now the check bounced
And I have to pay a penalty
For something I worked hard to build up
So something is wrong.
I would like to close this account.
And please give me back my heart.”

This was very original and clever. I loved this. A great poem!!!!!
I hope all is well and you get your heart back safe and sound. When a relationship is broken and such.....things get rough....and pain is inevitable



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

very fresh outlook on an ageold friend, pain.  i do feel pain from this.  i really enjoy it when poets go on a limb and create poetry not in the usual form, rhyme and meter.  great piece!!

Yes, very clever indeed!  And how true that can be!

P.S.  But is it that easy?
