Space

I wonder if I can really think as poetically
as I thought I could. I
want the raw feelings of an unrequited love
to sound good, so other people will
want to read them.
Why does anyone ever
want anything?
Is it because they actually
want it,
or is it because other people
want them to
want it?

Or is it because...

I want you.

The space between us could be filled with stars,
but it will always just be


space.

    I see that you haven't written a poem in a while. I was thinking that you were going to blow my brains out with a hair dryer. You did just that and more with this poem. It made me think.

    Why does anyone ever
    want anything?
    Is it because they actually
    want it,
    or is it because other people
    want them to
    want it?

    Those lines are like in the top 4.5 things in a poem ever.

    Keep in touch. And keep writing.
    -Logan
