What is the Meaning of Life?

Poetry that I wrote back in high school. Nothing major. I just haven't written any poetry in awhile, well, unless you count the sarcastic stuff that I can't show to anyone.

Just for the record, my opinions, hopes, dreams, etc., are just that. They have absolutely no reflection on my employer. Not that I'm going to tell you who that is... I am the (self proclaimed) Queen of the Universe. Join my cadre of loyal subjects and all will be well in your world. My mantra is "Embrace Chaos. Adore Chaos. Give Chaos a big kiss on the mouth." NEW mantra this week - "No one ever suspects the socks." Email me at greenduckiesgirl(at)comcast(dot)net

Leave Me Alone

Would you understand
if I told you
that I never wanted to see you again?
You would probably wonder why
because you never
done anything to hurt me
and have been a good friend.
Well, I'm afraid that's the problem
because I decided a long time ago
that I wanted more than
your friendship
and I'm terrified of what you'll say or do
if you ever find out.
In my mind,
I make up little scenarios
(women are notorious for them, you know)
and in each one,
you laugh and walk away.
Since I am so afraid of being hurt,
I think sometimes it would be
almost better
if I just went on being alone
and stopped dreaming about you
and the love I want to give you.

Who is this written about? Who knows? Some guy I had a thing for, obviously. I don't know when this was written either so I can't even begin to speculate. God, sometimes I read this stuff and think "Could you be any more pathetic with all this unrequited love?" And then I remember the guys I actually did date. And the answer is "Oh, hell yes."

Sometimes I really love being single.
