others may have wine, i have poetry

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

but then again

Just once I wish
you'd look into my eyes when I talk to you
then again, I wish
that it weren't important that you do
Just once I wish
that you'd bother enough to care
then again, I wish
that it didn't affect me if you did or not
Just once I wish
That you meant lesser to me
but I also wish
That I meant more to you
Just once I wish
that you'd miss me
then again ,I wish
that I didn't miss you
Just once I wish
that you'd wrap me in your arms
but then again, I wish
that, that didn't make everything okay
Just once I wish
that you'd read this
but then again, I wish
that I'd never written it

I know this is true and felt,
But then again,
it shouldn't be.

this is like an everyday feeling,
yet unusual
