NOTE: I would have written about the horrible terrorsim act carried out this morning, but I do not think i could do justice to the harted, sorrow, and even fear i feel in a poem, or words even. I only hope somehow we can recover, hopefully a stronger nation, from this disaster. So here's a poem i wrote, just to release pressure.

It's hard to say what it is i see in you.
Maybe its your smile, or good looks.
Or what you say or what you do.

Could it be the way you treat me?
The way you laugh, or stare?
Glance my way discreetly?

Maybe it's the way you tease
And touch, and croon and grin.
That has me on my knees.

Or perhaps its not that at all.
It could be the way you
help me when i fall.

Yet you passed me by, quite often.
You glare, and shove, and joke,
But cruelly, your face wont soften.

What's this? Have i dreamed?
Is your love, affection, is nothing
The way it seemed?

You do stare, but scoff and poke.
You laugh so cruelly,
Am I a joke?

When i look at reality,
I realize you've never once
touched me.

It hurts me deep when you taunt me so.
The way you never let your
true side show.

I thought you helped me when
i fell, but you pushed, you
forced me down again.

What do i see in you? I see:
a cruel, and heartless man
Who cannot leave me be.

Who only makes my life much worse,
The only phrase you've uttered to me
is some horrid curse.

I think i have to reconsider. I dont
like you much. I will not stand for
this I wont!

Whatever quality you do posess.
It's not heart, courage, brain,
love, or tenderness.

You do seem to posess rudeness
and hate, and spite, and an ever
present shrewdness.

I thought I wanted to be with you
To follow you about do what
you do.

Now upon closer inspection,
I've come up with this
last reflection:

I think i have to say
that i dont love you.
In any way.
