Logical Me
Logical me
Well, I find that kind of funny
Because how could you see me
If anything, as
Smart?
After Passionate me wrote so passionately
The letter I penned with the ink
Of my heart
When meek, Timid me tried unsuccessfully to
Admit to your face these feelings
I've had
And so Unhappy me thought quite reasonably
That unless I spoke up, the results
Would be bad
Compassionate me
Sympathized with Unhappy me, and found it
Unhealthy to keep such a love buried
Inside
The romantic in me paired with the poet in
Me, composing a letter I intended not
To hide
Soft-hearted me wrote of Altruistic you
Benevolent, Chivalrous, Wonderful you
Who
Could do no wrong in the hearts of my eyes
And what better way to thank you
Than with my love for your
Prize?
Hence
Loudmouthed me uncapped my bottle of tears
And Masochistic me poured them
Out onto the pages
And though this was no abuse, I wonder
Do I just get off on the pain?
It's
No sexual matter, but a matter all the same
Worrisome me might be obliged
To agree
That Hind Sighted me has lost these battles
For ages
But what reason had I to scar
My heart up again?
Whimsical me had none to do with this
Plot
It must be Twice-Shy me, for
I
Had been bitten, and I believed that through
Your love, I'd find the closure I sought
Two months
Past the fact, and Oh-So-Anxious me is
Squirming in her seat, making
The
Butterflies dance in my stomach while she
Waltzes so nervously
But
Suddenly, I think it's best not to expect
A response from All-Too-Cautious
You
As Logical me makes her way onto the scene
She and I realize that I've said
More than is enough
You get it, you know, and if you don't like
It, then tough
So I will say nothing, and let
You make up your mind
Logical me
Struggles to find the right in all this
Wrong, but it doesn't matter if
I do
Because despite Logical me's protesting screams
Illogical me
Still wants Wonderful you
