Sad poems

Today was a good day, despite everything.

I had hope.

Life was good.

School is fine, home is fine.

Then there's you.

You're angry.

Don't argue.

You know me,

How well I read people,

How I got the skill.

You're angry.

The tiny things that most people miss, or dismiss.

Things you can't put a name to without sounding paranoid

A tone of voice, a turn of phrase,

A carefully constructed conversation

Where each word stings a little deeper

Even though you seem friendly

It's just a deep-down knowledge

Beyond intelligence or reason.

Beyond anything.

I can't stand it.

I can't even talk to you.

I wish you'd just be honest,

Even if I won't.

I love you.

If it was me, forgive me,

Whatever I've done, I'm sorry.

Of course,

You answer with silence.

Okay.

I can pretend too.

Bye then.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I'm having a silent argument. If you know what I mean you'll get it. My best friend is angry and wont admit it

Very smooth. Your lines flowed so well I began to hear the argument in my head, and right before the very last line I went off into my own mind's argument. A very suggestive poem. Nice. :)
