Priceless!

I tried to buy love but the price kept increasing,

I thought to cry love but the tears aren’t releasing,

Leasing a heart now that I hardly ever get to use,

Ceasing to start now, because I hate to be refused,

Could use a nut as a sleep aid, but settle for a beverage,

Not even asking, I could just picture the rampage,

If I should say come over let me bust,

Not just the ‘no’ I can easily envision the disgust,

Combust like a spark, the verbal bark, the remark,

Is that all I am to you, call for one or two, skylark?

A shark swimming in an aquarium, no space,

Even if I erase there is nothing to replace,

Need a broader pool to choose from, but imprisoned,

No shackles no bars, or so I envisioned,

I can’t walk away though, so I just chill here,

Open my eyes and the warden is still there,

Lost hair, despair, rejected by those closest,

I study hard but in life I seem to fail most tests,

Seeking my slice of the cake, but I barely nibble,

Settle for helping those I love, but to them I’m invisible,

Incredible how I still see and hear them clearly,

But they don’t acknowledge me even when near me,

Well, until they need my crumbs from the cake I got,

Then there’s a glow that reveals me as a spot,

But the glare fades quickly after thy eat a bit,

They then disappear, as I retreat and sit,

Like a puppy whose master patted him on his back,

Then leaves him en-caged in a tiny, metal trap,

Showering me with love when it suits them again,

While I’m trying to buy a love that I will never attain.
