Why do you not love me? Why do you take me for granted? Why do you use me? Why do you abuse me? You'll never miss your water, 'Till you well runs dry. You'll never miss me, 'Till I say goodbye. Why do you starve me? Why do you lie to me? Why do you ignore me? Why do you not listen? How can you just stare? How can you just not care? How long has it been since you held me tight? How can you be glad to be out of my sight? How?...... Why?... [This message has been edited by Spine Grinder (edited 02-04-2001).] |

Nice. It really displays a lot of frustration and confusion. Sometimes we are just like this though, we tend to ignore others or mistreat them. Good thoughts herein. Welcome to Passions. Enjoy your stay, I look forward to reading more from you. -Allan We used to hate people, now we just make fun of them. It's more effective that way. --KMFDM |

i particularly like the second stanza... not a huge fan of the unanswered question format, but it does present interesting possiblities within a poem... you might consider attempting you answer the questions you pose here in another poem where you explore your own feelings about the way this person has scorned you... i would certainly be interested to see such a work... |

Welcome to passions! Your poem displays a sense of confusion and problems within the situation you are facing at the moment. Sorry this is happening to you, but this was a great read. Hope to read more from you in the near future! I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |
