I was rewatching the earlier seasons of House (oh how I miss the days when the show was good!), and for some reason, House vs. God made me type up this weird poem. I can't write poetry. Repeat: poetry and I are not very good friends. However, I tried making it into prose but it just wouldn't flow. So alas, you are stuck with this poem. Also, I can't get this to format at all.

Disclaimer: I am a poor college student. Someday I will be rich, but that day is not today. I own nothing, House is not mine, as much as I wish it were so.


Every morning I wake up,

Knowing that everything will

Still be the same.

Same job, same people,

Same personalities.

It's not that I expect House to ever

Change.

In fact, it's a constant I can count on

In this hectic world.

House's cynicism, bitterness, and

Pain.

To the world, to society, and to fate.

It's not that I expect House to ever

Change.

It's just that it would be nice

Once in a while, to see

Proof of more that just a

Crippled, hollow man.

To see that Gregory House is actually

Human.

To see that every patient is more than a puzzle,

Every relationship is more than a mind game.

It's not that I expect House to ever

Change.

It's just that it would be nice to know

That I mean something to him.

My colleagues always wonder why I,

A respected oncologist with a

Compassionate touch,

Would bother sticking around

For my polar opposite.

What they don't know-

And what House does-

Is that I am more like my best friend

Than people realize.

It's not that I expect House to ever

Change.

After all, his observational skills are part

Of what makes him a brilliant doctor.

It's just that it would be nice if he didn't

Always observe me.

I knew he would figure it out eventually,

That I am sleeping with my terminally ill

Cancer patient.

I don't think even House would have

Stooped this low.

Am I nothing more than another puzzle?

It's not that I expect House to ever

Change.

But sometimes he truly surprises me.

Although today's events have not shaken up

His beliefs about the world,

He seems a little different today.

Less bitter and more pensive.

He looks at me "But we're ok?"

I shake my head in disbelief that

The one thing he does worry about is

Our Friendship.

Then I realize that I wouldn't have it any other way.

"House, you are… as God made you."
