What Can't I?
What can I say to make it better?
What can I say to make it not hurt?
What can I say to you in a simple letter,
without me sounding curt?
What can I do to make it up?
What can I do to help you out?
What can I do for all the stuff,
that created this whole bout?
What can I try to make this work?
What can I try to make you see?
What can I try to show I am also hurt,
and am not completely crazy?
Why can't you give me a chance?
Why can't you give me a response?
Why can't you help me advance,
and deal with both of our wants?
I guess that is what happens when you do not match,
when you do not see eye to eye,
when you are not a complete catch,
and the love you felt was a lie.
But then again, isn't that most love nowadays?

I’m currently a graduating senior just writing what I feel through poetry. It is the only form of art that I truly feel expresses what I’m trying to say.
