a poem...

a poem can tell you everything
a poem can tell you nothing
i may understand what a poem wants to say
i may understand nothing at all about it
there are poems i read but do not need to understand
because in my heart i know what they say
i might need a poem to tell you how i feel
but maybe i don't need one at all.

bitter pill

people say we can't help it
but i know better, because we can
and even if i can suppress it
i don't want to
because i want what i feel
and who i feel it for
you of all people should know
although you don't feel it in return for me
