I cannot believe you traversed
My desires and hopes
Without once contemplating
Me!
And you see how I have failed you,
In revealing all my fantasies,
For many fail to invigorate them,
To make them tangible and readable
Yet how I triumph over Love's
Imaginaries and realities alike
In a four stanza-ed drawl
A waste of time—a relief of end—
To finish together,
In this sea of silence and words—
Finishing together is
Both my plague and my comfort
To this—Adieu, Adieu!
And five stanzas will have to do

Hey there now, hi
Me see you’re new
Playground time is no fun alone
Pepe and I
best buds since two
But, imaginaries have no real home
They say that I’m
a special need kid
Socially, I can’t keep up, y’know
One hundred times
test me they did
Teachers IQ’s are much too low
Mom said to Dad:
strange I no cry
Said third word heard on day one
They get so mad
when I don’t try
Me just stand still while others run
I notice things
what most can’t see
Some heads they have a halo glow
My heart did sing
like flower to bee
When you said me be your new friend-o
Fun brain tease: Explain last line in fifth stanza.
Make me proud you poetic savants.
Clue is in the first two lines of the fifth stanza
