Worthless

by Christopher Shin

What is the worth
of a person in
nickles and dimes?

When it comes down
to it am I worth
the pretty penny
in this life?

Not worth the love,
but only enough to
spare the broken
hearts.

Intoxicated with
the infatuation,
but broke to fall
under Eros's spell.

What am I to the world,
when even dreams shatter
with a smug snicker
from those who
find me worthless.
