Deceit
Mr Berg Oct 2014
Written there
in your eyes
the neon light of deceit.
Your focus
is all askew.
Is honesty obsolete?

Two sparkling Swarovski crystals
Fooling nobody but you
Turns out diamonds aren't forever
least not their tone or hue
Drawn from somewhere in the past.
My first attempt for a while,  life has been busy.

Dear future employer
Mr Berg Sep 2014
I am a number
rentable flesh and bone.
Chew me up and spit me out
I am just a soul for loan
My hands will not blister
from any task you'll demand
I'll cower in your presence
Burn me with your brand.

How desperate are you for a job?

That word...
Mr Berg Sep 2014
Woven in the matrix lacework of your words
the stark absence of love
Not just the word
I could live with that
But you (I guess we) are devoid of that affection
If only it were just a word
that needed to be written down
or occasionally whispered as we fall asleep

Another dead end
Mr Berg Sep 2014
I am just no good at this
You know...
ending
this
You would have thought I would have mastered it
for all the times
all the times I've done it
BUT...
No
I am just no good at this
you had better go before I say something regrettable
Like it just was not meant to be
or
It was not you
but me.
I am just no good at this...

— The End —
