Misc. Notes

So Payton outright DEMANDED I post another one on here, tonight. I've just got a few misc. notes in my phone, of half-finished poems. So here goes. I make no promises as to their caliber...
And they don't rhyme. I didn't have time to put them in a scheme. Sorry!


Things changed so quickly
I feel nostalgic of
Our conversations
Of 5 minutes ago
You love me
Loved me*
So how
Does

Ignoring me change
How you feel?
How we felt
Does it?
No.

It only allows the feelings
To ferment, spoil
Expire in a way
That shouldn't
Ever apply
To us.

I lied when I said
I understood.

---

He told me he had just escaped
The asylum.
Special reservation:
Insanity,
Party of one.
I asked why.
Wanted to see life.
Love.
Hope.
Wit.
I asked his verdict.
He said,
Preferred the inside of his own head,
At least those things can be imagined.

"I lied when I said

Those lines totally complete the poem.
