May 30, 1992 11:41 p.m. poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


"Untitled"

She's a vision of beauty to me
Even as she leaves

But so far she always comes back

I'm supposed to learn from her

She teaches me lessons

Why am I so stupid still?
Why can't this love I profess
to maintain teach me
How to stop messing up.

I need you Pat
But I know I don't act like
it sometimes.

I'm a "crybaby" and a fool.

I went through four years of college
And you went through the
school of "hard knocks".

But you're a thousand times
smarter than me.

My heart hurts bad but it's
deserved.

I with I were more like you.
I take too much and seldom give.

1992
