AN: I haven't updated much of anything in a while. Sorry. I have a project where I have to write a poem based on The Iliad, and I HATE it. So…I came up with this.

How do I love you without…

Getting my heart broken?

Like so many other little girls

Being pathetic, a true infatuated fool

Your every glance is a token

How do I see you without…

Gaping noticeably, eyes wide

Staring at you when I think

You don't notice, but you do

Thinking a look is something implied

How do I comfort you without…

Thinking I want to be the one comforted

In your arms, tightening around me

Whisper words into my ear

Taking away any pain inflicted

How do I tell you without…

Sounding like a lovesick brat

Who thinks she knows everything

About the intangible idea we call love

Which, through and through, is sheer combat

But now you're gone

And I don't know

What to do

Without you

You're gone

And I hate you

How do I love you without…

Loving you?

AN: Not my best work, but I don't hate it. R & R?
