Poem Commentary

This poem is about me directly. Like one of the previous ones I posted, this one talks about me and my ex fiance prior to me knowing her true colors. Of course, it's a gloomy background, but I wanted to portray my emotions regarding the whole situation. I wanted to find a way of letting people know just how betrayed I felt during this time. I hope you get from it, what I wanted to put into it. Furthermore, I hope you enjoy it.

The Last Rose

A traditional sight, I've seen before,

A man giving a rose.

He doesn't know, his girl's a whore

And so he shall propose.

 

Side by side, they walk the aisle,

both seem so content.

But then she bangs his best friend Kyle

and the groom is a little bit bent.

 

With this act, the wedding's off,

The groom falls into hell

from the bride, not even a cough

as he slashes with a nail.

 

The months go by and he accepts,

the things that are meant to be

In reality, he only adapts

but he shall never be free

 

One last rose falls to his floor

as he finally throws the key

who would have guessed her to be a whore

and he could turn into me

 

Lonely and fallen, my heart deeply sank

my body hitting the floor

If only I was high up in her rank

then she wouldn't have shut the door.

 

One last rose, on the table

I finally hit the floor

On my foot, they place the label

I was once alive, but nevermore.

Oh wow, on your wedding day, I can't image the pain you must have felt especially with all those guests on their way. Prayers of a better future to you and removal of all pain no one should have that happen on their wedding day, thats way over what the human being can carry.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
