A poem I wrote nearly three years ago, and I still consider it one of my favorites. Also an experiement in formatting, so please excuse any weirdness (ie stray tags), I'll work on trying to fix them. Please review! Thanks~!! ^_^

dear karl (from, lain)

to the man with clearest eyes
(eyes clear and innocent)
how could you ever love me?
(innocence is a lie)
I'm something no one even knows
(except for maybe deus)
riddle, enigma, curiosity
(no, not even him)
my world is falling apart
(or maybe it's coming together)
but still, you love me
(lies, lies, love is lies)
how could you know what love is
(love has left me alone)
just by loving me?
(no one's here to love me)
I may be someone that shouldn't even be loved
(yes, they left me, and I rejected so many more)
I could hurt your clearest eyes
(they tell me I have power)
I could make them cloudy
(maybe I can kill)
to the man with clearest eyes
(hide behind your headset, sir)
please, please, don't love me
