Poem, "Do You Really Know Me?"

Do You Really Know Me?

You say you know everything about me,

but my question to you remains:

do you really know me at all, or no,

because you assumed far too much

about me before you got to know me.

Perhaps you were too late when

I was younger, you ignored me totally,

but now you're in my face all the time.

So you are much and far too late.

I am happy that you're not my lover,

if you were my lover then I'd leave you

much faster than a single heartbeat,

because I know one thing about you:

you cheat on all of your lovers...

so take this as kindly as possible:

I do not want you, now or ever,

not in my heart, and not in my life.

All that I know for sure is that in case

you don't take this so-called request

like the man that you should be,

then I don't want you to be a part of me.

This poem is for Eugene Raytman.

Poem, "No One Knows It"

No One Knows It

I can't leave you but I can't stay...

yet no one knows it all but me and my heart,

because I just can't love you like

I used to when we were young...

in fact, I found someone else to love.

I can't love anyone else but him,

he is even better as a lover and friend,

so no one knows this secret but me.

I'd rather be alone to think about this,

which will mean of our demise

for sure in this short lifetime.

I write my heart out and I bleed,

because you're the reason why I leave

and he is the reason why I stay...

well, at least here on earth...

and no one knows it but me.

I can't open myself up quite yet

because of my past with you...

to be honest with all of you...

I'd rather let no one know of this.

Enjoy!
