last night we went to see
murder by numbers with
the boy who never leaves his house
and so it was me, you and you
sitting in the movie
theatre finding the truth of
what is and what isn't
but, i never wanted the night to end
and i wonder if today
will be as magical as last night
and i wonder ifi will manage to forget all those
hopeless memories that
seem to get in my way of fairy's
but you were that fairy-
i guess i'm still surprised that
you would think my secret was
not real, but
i love you any ways,
as a friend
and i think you must
hate the word love after all you've
been through, but i will say it anyways
iloveyou
and ani difranco plays on my
cd player and i'm trying not to
cry, or to feel numb but
it's so easy now
so easy not to feel.

Welcome to Passions! This piece is very well done. I like the numbing effect of the opening, and you carried the emotion all the way through.

You and Doreen should work together!  lol  I like the theme of the poem, and the way you laid out the final lines.
