Last Napkin

"Last Napkin"

Screwed and soaked, 

The last napkin lies.

A sponge of sorrow, 

A tomb of tears, 

A silenced cry.

The unbreakable is broken,

The invincible defeated.

The terrible trick of fate, 

So cruel and conceited.

The last napkin, 

Used and discarded.

Woefully wet and heavy,

Ugly lump of last tears shed.

Tears of heartache

Tell truth of heartbreak.

In this love game

With no winners 

Nor trophy to take.

Only losers,

Lost and lame, 

Holding the last napkin,

Trapped and torn,
in cycles of human sins.
