PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

We're exact polar opposites, don't you see?

You, a creature of darkness

And me, a "child of the light"

Strange, then, that we should be friends

Since it would seem we have nothing in common

For instance

You prefer to read of blood and gore

I would much rather have magic and fantasy

But that is just the beginning

You are the insightful one,

Usually sensing people's thoughts

While I usually can't even figure out my own

Some differences are so extreme

They are almost similarities

You had, as you put it, no childhood

I had perhaps too much of one

Consider, too, our means of verbal defense

You, scalding tongue and sharp wit, almost acidic

And me, simply caustic, too-late comebacks

I've wondered, lately:

Together, would we cancel each other out?

I wonder if I'll ever understand.
