I see you there - but not really.
I see an image made for the benefit of others.
Why the charade?
But without the image, I never would have met you.

You tell me who you really are - but not really.
I can't know the truth, but then again,
Why would you lie?
You are a mystery to me, and I enjoy it.

You shared your biggest secrets with me - but not really.
Images on a flat screen cannot convey emotion.
What can we do?
I would love to meet the real you.

For now, we are just images - but not really.
For I know you, And you know me.  I won't hide.
Why should I?
I never want to feel I've misled you.

Not really.  

Why is it that we prepare for war like precocious giants, and for peace like retarded pygmies.....

Wow Baroni, I like your style!  Forceful truths, but then the fear of yourself being to forceful...  Shows the insecurities in all of us as we get to know new people.....
I really enjoyed this portrayl..

oh yes, i love your format too- very original. i can tell you put sum thought in the construction of it while you were writing. i think it suited the poem very well-good job baroni! i loved the way you ended the poem with the "not really" i think you finished it it off well- not many ppl are able to deliver good endings, but i think that you managed to do a good job of it  .thanks for sharing this- i loved the read

see the glass crack like a flower opening
