Falling Short
There's nothing I could say
That would change you(r mind),
Is there?
I couldn't persuade you,
Was I not charming enough
To tempt you (even a little)?
Don't think I need you(r approval),
I can survive (contently) without...
But is life simply about surving?
I would rather it was about living(/loving).
I guess not along side you...
(Seems like you wouldn't want to...?)
Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
