So I guess this can be a sort of cache for poetry, since I use my eljay for most of my journal-type thoughts. Though, I suppose I could cross post them if I find myself getting comfortable enough here. ^_^
Anyhow, the poem. I wrote this kind of off the wall. I honestly wonder what the subject's reaction to my poems would be. Probably nothing good. =_=
You and I
Is it so easy to cast me aside
Do I not cross your mind
Even though time flows by us
I wonder if you ever wonder
About me
You spent so many years
Valiantly defending my name
And yet you still know nothing
About me
Perhaps I made too many mistakes
Did I hurt your feelings through it all
Maybe your steely persona is just a facade
It never occurred to you that you and I
We weren't the same
I tried so hard for us to connect
My voice strained to reach your ears
But you never even listened to the cries
And you never truly learned anything
About me
