A Tribute To Jake Barnes Ne'r a man hath felt regret Like that of Jake, And Jake with Brett Ne'r a man with a heart so fake hath turned away And refused to take Ne'r to day as of yet will two in love just forget, And so on now, they'll pretend to forget, and so with Jake and Jake with Brett, And though their love will ne'r end the fate they have On them depends 'Tis the question they refuse? Are they in love Are they in lust, No, no more, Nay, they'll not accuse May,Nay, they've loved no other Like Brett loved Jake, more than a brother And what could Jake, HIs poor heart take, But ne'r will they pretend And ne'r again will they forget, The Love Brett hath and He with Brett...
Reason for writing:
I recently read "THe Sun Also Rises" by the great Ernest and I felt inspired to more than prose, Inspired by the love they pretended not to havea and thus this poem.
