Tonight I Can Write The Saddest Lego Lines

This is a parody of Pablo Neruda’s infamous Tonight I Can Write The Saddest Lines poem. This poem is not about a man’s love for a woman, but a man’s love for his Lego.
This is a story about an AFOL who no longer has enough space for his Lego blocks and those who have somehow “lost” their collection of bricks because their wives threw them away. This is a semi-parody and an ode to those old lads who have “lost” their Lego bricks.
Tonight I can write the saddest Lego lines
Write, for example, my Lego heart is shattered
And the Lego stars do not shine in the distance
The night is silent and the no one is singing
Tonight I can write the saddest Lego lines
I loved my bricks and sometimes, they loved me too
I have built with them over and over under the endless sky
And in nights as silent as this one, I held them in my arms
How could a child not have loved them
Their shiny plastic cover
And those little bobs that lock them together?
Tonight I can write the saddest Lego lines
To think that I no longer have them
To feel that I have lost them
To hear them calling me from the shops I pass by
To bear those dull afternoons that they are not with me,
Still more dull because I have lost them
And the loneliness falls on my soul like vapor on a pasture
What does it matter that I cannot keep them?
What does it matter that they are not with me?
That is all.
In the distance my minifigs are singing,
In the distance they are calling me…
My heart searches for them
And they are not with me
Tonight I can write the saddest Lego lines
