Bargain

Today,
I struck a bargain
To sell off my soul yet again
One by One all that i had believed in
All that had helped me
Time and again.
Each of them I watched being bid for
and sold
And counted, in silence, abated.


At a distance, I stood
and watched them sell
pieces of me that still held good.
The final bargain now struck
I turned
A mere paces from me
There you stood.


The quizzical face, shall not work today.
How could I tell you, what you had done?
A wealth of hope, that i had stored
Today i found, were all gone.


And gone with it my own resolve
So here i am yet again.


My soul's been sold.
