Poetry's Ambition
how many times have I sit here with you
rubbing my thumb up an down you side
getting you hotter and hotter
just waiting for me
then it won't move
my thoughts lay limply
hands folded hopelessly on your white complexion
could I count the times
we have a one way conversation
where you beg for my opinion
I just sit there with nothing to say
some months we don't even talk
from the abuse
of all the stupidity I inflict
the years I have lived
made me better than no one
but above everyone else
with me holding you I am relatively nowhere
how come this is how they describe love
a euphoria of nonunderstanding
I can't understand
why I get so mad at you
at times
then sometimes you make me blush
you're something worse than a women
this notebook and pen
