Ale A A Poet List

Transactions Between You and I

You
You give me laughter
After you teach me how to be a liar
You give me truth
After you remove my fantasy factor
You give me desire
After you stipulate no ever after
You give me hope
After you think I’ve taken back my desire
You give me lies
After you realize I am stronger

ME
I give you laughter
Because you were my desire
I give you compassion
Because you were deserving
I give you a future
Because your views were limited
I give you truth
Because you needed it
I give you strength
Because you are so brilliant
I give you love
There was no reason

Terry Burns February 27, 2013 at 9:26 PM Nicely done. I am not familiar with all the different styles of poetry and I'm not really sure how to label mine. This is one of the styles I am unfamiliar with but I like it very much. Good job.
