Dear Poem of Mine

Why must you taunt me so

With your blank face 

And meaningless words?

I look at you for hours on end

And you look back, 

Mockery in your eyes; 

I try to express myself to you

Yet you only laugh;

My words mean nothing,

That much is clear,

So I retrace my steps to try again

And again

And again.

But nothing seems to work;

Why must you be so difficult

O' poem of mine?

I look at your face for hours

But nothing comes to fruition;

Is there no way to end this endless cycle?

When was the last time you spoke to me?

I try to talk to you

But my words fail me;

And so all I can do is stare

While you stare back at me.
