    Poem Commentary

    Pretty sure we all have a friend like this...

    Runner-up

    I know love
    Somehow I do
    I see it in their eyes
    When they talk of you

    So pretty and perfect
    Who wouldn't be taken?
    So charming and fun
    My image is shaken

    I can't stand by you
    It just isn't liveable
    'Cause when i'm there
    I turn invisible

    I'm the rock
    You're the gem
    I dont blame you
    Or even them

    The only one I resent
    Is simply me
    Because apparently, perfect,
    I can't be.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
