Polar Opposites

A poem written in 2010 possibly about me, but possibly about someone else.

There was no love,

No hate,

No feelings in your eyes.

You watched me from above,

There was definitely no debate

That you completely ignored my cries.

But without you,

It's like the ocean with no tide,

No rules to abide.

No blazing sun for warmth,

No shining moon for soothing coolness.

But with you,

I'm consumed by your still heart,

And endless, dark, and pain-filled abyss.

Though I couldn't exist without you.

I am Life.

You are Death.

I'm a sigh,

And you're the last breath.

I am Light,

Opposed to your Dark.

I'm the wind swirling through the park.

You're the silence of a pitch black night.

It's difficult to be a shining grin full of hope

With your look of somber tranquility struggling with fear.

I'm the smile that helps you cope,

But you'd rather die than shed a single tear.

Even in your hate there is love,

A raven hidden in my dove.

We are exactly the same,

But we're polar opposites.

You're a wild flame,

While I was easy to tame.

You, an icy locket,

Me, warm and soft velvet.

Yet we're the same person,

Strong and broken,

Burning and frozen,

A single poet.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
