How small of a toss
Can create such great loss
The wrong words to a boss
Showed meaning with cost
A tiny young boy
Misuses a toy
States things that are cloy
On food too much soy
An older girl rants
She needed new pants
The seeds that she plants
Itch like some red ants
You can't find your ring
Shouted words in a string
Accusations that sting
... You sat on the thing
How much did you gain
In time of long pain
Heard the howling of rain
No songs had you sang
Life gave you pleasure
Though Lacking in measure
Like clinging a tether.
Than none it was better.
How fun has dwindled.
Love that sloped downward.
Loss casts And it shadowed.
'Til no more has remained.
Loss.
Cost.
Gain.
Pain.
Pleasure.
Dwindled.
Shadowed.
Words. Lost.
