it's depressing that there's really no place to put poetry on discuss...
unless i'm just clueless and missed it... which is entirely possible...
anyway, i went to Blue Window tonight, which some might consider a depressing
play, but actually it's not, really. it got me thinking though about people
and relationships...
for some reason, the beginnings of this poem popped into my head and refused
to go away. it's hard to do work when your brain insists on spewing nonsense
poetry/song, so i decided i should write it down, maybe complete it, be done
with it, and try to get some damn work done. so i wrote it down. but then i
got this urge to show it to someone... all the someones around here seem to
be busy (and not in the right mood to listen to silly poetry). so, seeing as
coatrack is the ..uh.. thing i talk/babble to when i can't (or don't want to)
find a live being, i figured i'd post it here, be done with it, etc. so here
it is. enjoy, or whatever.
"Three Words"
There are three words I hope I never hear again
There are three words I hope I never say again
Once they meant a lot to me
In fact they meant the whole world to me
But now they are jaded and never ring true
... I love you ...
There are three words that I once heard
There are three words that I once said
I don't think they meant what I thought they meant
I don't think they were quite what I expected them to be
And now these words are sure to sting through and through
... I love you ...
There are three words that I will never hear
There are three words that I will never say
They will never have their virgin quality again
They will never touch the deepest of me
Yet now I see they are still important for me
... I love you ...
sigh. maybe NOW i can get some work done. ha ha ha.
thanks for listening, folks.
