How can you be so blatanly wrong
While thinking you're right?
You have an ego like none I've ever seen
Yet I long to hold your wrongness so tight.
I'm addicted to you but I'm in withdrawal
I've seen some of the damage you can do
You're a shock to my sytem, a pain in my chest
You took over my mind in a sequestered coups.
How can I live with this pain in my head
This pounding, drilling anger I get
This anger with which I cannot part
Yet I want more of it, masochism abound
I hurt therefore I am, I don't listen to Descartes.
Please tell me what you think

Brian, I love your opening two lines! I can't tell you how many times I've thought that very thing about someone, lol. Obviously, however, this person is one you wish to hold near even though the pounding in your head (the frustration of all frustrations) is driving you crazy -- how can someone you care so much about be so wrong? Such is the nature of human relationships, I suppose. It would drive the philosophers crazy I think. Nicely written. Well done! Best, Elizabeth

Thanks. I appreciate your very kind and generous comments. You're always very kind. It is a rather annoying predicament. I try to avoid them but, as you see, they do occur. Sadly, most of my poems are a part of my actual life. The good things often are as well though...
