Disclaimers:

1. The characters B`Elanna and Seven of Nine are not mentioned...but I feel from the wording that you know the poem is from B'Elanna's point of view to Seven of Nine.

2. I do not own any part of Star Trek Voyager or its characters Paramount does...I apologize for this. Just think of the B'Elanna and Seven stories that would have been on air if fan fiction authors were able to write and direct episodes...Tom Paris would have been in prison...oh well...still smiling at the thought...lol. That is why I love fan fiction...lol.

3. No rape involved or mentioned at least not in any of my stories or poems.

4. No derogatory words about Klingons...but I found it hard to come up with a word that would not hurt B'Elanna's feelings if it was used in front of her. I used the word "Halfling". I do not believe I used the word in a mean way. If I did then I apologize.

Am I Weak

When I saw you for the first time it took my breath away; I thought I was showing weakness. I expressed anger towards you for no reason except that I thought of myself as weak. You make my breath leave my lungs and my hearts to skip a beat; am I weak? Each time you enter engineering you walk in and have perfection in all that you do. You point out my mistakes that slightly irritate me because I would not have made them if you would not have walked in. I get irritated by you because by my thinking of you all the time...you effect my work because I cannot concentrate, my sleep because you are in my dreams, my appetite because you sit alone and I stare at you wondering what you are thinking about. Do I have an effect on you like you affect me?

I could swear that during one of our tirades your eyes revealed an emotion that I couldn't place. Was it love or something else? I wish I was strong enough to tell this to your face instead to an empty data pad. I wonder what your reaction would be; would you be happy to know that you are not alone. Would you be disappointed to have a Halfling like me or surprised that I do care for you. Who would have thought that after weeks..."Computer erase weeks and put in months"? After months of arguing and what seems like every alien race attacking us that I am doing something weak by leaving myself open like this. I want to know your answer to this my final question. Am I weak for wanting you..."Computer erase wanting and put in loving"? Loving Seven in secret like I do please do not respond to this in public only in private. Not because I am ashamed, but because if you reject me. I would like to be in my quarters where I can cry in peace.
