Black Gold


You left me in despair.

You betrayed many.

Everything you went through to get to this point.

Is gold not great enough for you?

You seek a greater prize. I know of that.

You seek of something big, something superior, something unique.

I've watched you reach your goal.

I say he's nothing more than just plain coal.

But you say that he more than that.

"He is black gold."

Something big, something superior, something unique.

"I have found it. I have reached the top." she says.

Have you really?

Deceived and abused

"I'm done with you." he says

Everything you've went through to get to this point shatters in an instant.

Who is the real winner?

You've left me in despair.

You've betrayed many.

All I can do is pity.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hehe, this is just something I wrote in my spare time.
I have a couple more. If you read all of them and put it in order then you'll see that it's kind of like a story about how I was trying to win a girl's heart but I failed.

But hey, I have a awesome girlfriend now

By the way, Black Gold has no relation to oil here.

...but the parasites say NO!

nice read.

Did she go for a black guy by any chance? :D My poor attempt to interpret the poem.

:| I remember in grade school I failed everything to do with poetry.. I can never unscramble a poem's true meaning..Regardless, props for writing a poem, I could never write one.

Damnit, I thought you were talking about Lady America looking for more and more oil...

Gold could have been wheat, or money...

I interpret it as the match-fixing scandal.

For example, Savior we all have seen him reach the top of the top, getting the gold. But he wanted more, he wanted more money, even though it meant cheating, meaning the "black gold". and then he left us in pity, despair, etc.

In all seriousness though, reread it a cpl times and really enjoyed it. I think if i wrote something it'd be super obvious and probably rhymed or something childish haha
