I am Jack's dirty little secret,
That (diamond-that-isn't)-in-the-rough.
He's hoping that no one will find me out...
Tough.
I am Jack's concious
That's eating him alive.
He knew it, wouldn't do it, he blew it big time.
(He needs to pay for his crime)
I am Jack's life
Sent reeling from the latest blow
She dealt a hard deck
And it sealed my fate in spades
And I can't catch my breath (or Jack's).
I am Jack's affection,
The one that used to hold him up
But now I'm tearing him down (in two)
(In three, in four, in five)
I don't think he'll survive
Too late, too late, too late for Jack.
She's gone for good and isn't coming back.
I am the voice that whispers in Jack's mind...
"Maybe next time."
Author notes
Freeverse, mild rhyme.
I don't usually dabble in freeverse, so this is kinda out-on-a-limb for me. I like to hide meanings and stories behind each of my poems, so if you can find Jack's story behind this piece, grand. Look hard.

good piece well written i feel the conflictbetween Jack and himself./ That's the fight we rarely win. It's nice to hear someone else struggles with free verse. Keep writing we'll keep reading, Boog
