Of All People (5-Syllables Poetry)

Of All People (5-Syllables Poetry)
Written by Kirk Lawrence

Grew up together
Much like a family
We were like brothers
Not sure what happened

Just because I win
Almost all the time
No matter the game
Why try to hurt me?

You had the ladies
All were gorgeous
Plus... always got laid
Why not so happy?

Of advanced elites
Even joined my group
For over two years
Almost every day

Which I must admit
We were quite impressed
That you stuck around
Losing so often

You got angrier
Just round after round
As if gambling
While very much drunk

Yet... not much at them
Such a vendetta
Kept quite personal
Clearly unprovoked

Those verbal punches
Each constantly dodged
As I held back mine
To just stay polite

Took me a long while
So here is my guess
There was one lady
Who liked me far more

Often at my door
Although just as friends
Why should it matter?
She was never yours

Then again... really?
Out of a billion
Easy to choose from
That is why the grudge?

Granted... a real gem
Just too expensive
If not real wealthy
Yes... she is that type

Then came my moment
Another availed
Who screamed out in joy
When I made my move

Except, the next day
I saw both of you
Kissing each other
Right in our circle

Of all people... you?
Of all people... her?
Of all people... me?
Of all people... them?

Composed as I remain
That did break my heart
I thought she was wise
But clearly was not

To go for just looks
Knowing who you left
After every week
Then did it again

So... please do explain
What was that about?
A favor you said
Proof she's unworthy

The audacity
