Can't Someone Just Get Me Out of Here?

I really hate it when you think you are completely over someone, but then stand in their presence and discover that you're not. The flood of reasons why they are so delightful begin to pour into the crevices of your mind. And then, only then, do you realize how much you enjoyed their smile, laugh and silly personality. And you do not enjoy the way they try to make eye contact with you, which merely seems like a mockery to your current status. You laugh at all their silly jokes, but then quickly look away as if you were laughing at the air and how funny it is that we breathe it. Yes, I hate it when his parents ask you about your life, but he inquires not one question about your life after you've completely embarrassed yourself by exposing your vulnerability. Or he acts as if nothing has happened. That is what I hate.

Of course, I am phlegmatic, and above all, hate confrontation.

True Friendship

SONNET 73

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire
Consumed with that which it was nourish'd by.
   This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,
   To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

The Unsung Sonnet

Ah, my lonesome love
Let us come together and meet
No matter where the greet
Is it fate that draws us near?
Or the divine hand
That leads us to this foreign land?

Ah, my lonesome love
Let us run away with each other
Forgetting father and mother.
Will we ever be alike again?
Two lovers striving for perfection
May end in lacking affection.

Ah, my lonesome love
Let us forget and embrace
And forgive ourselves in grace.
Can we not simply live
And dismiss the world from our minds?
Lest we forever remain blind.
