My Poem:

“On The Guitar”

A guitar pick that has been overused
like me in a relationship
where I felt abused.

It is mine now
but it was given to me
by someone with guitar know-how.

He carried it in his pocket often
just in case the time came
to try to get people to remember his name

like I wish I could do
but it is hard to remember someone
who is always outdone.

The guitar pick is a faded memory
not completely exemplary
and lost with time

but it made its point
in its prime.
It is chipped at the edges

like uncared for hedges
and one day it will crack
like my heart has.

It is yellow
a color that is very mellow
and even that has faded.

Though it is recognizable
when you see it
it has been gone for a bit.

With details hard to make out
you start to doubt
if it was ever yours

or if it still belongs to
the other who
knew what he was doing

on the guitar.
