Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Whatever has been done...
Learn to forgive it.
Learn to forget it,
Cause...
...

Get away from that dumpster.
How many times do I have to tell you?
I don't care about you pretending not to know me.
Turn your head the other way if you want to.
...

Cool!
I'll pretend,
My pain endured...
Does not exist!
...

To an obnoxious degree,
They point out irritations and observances
To what they find offensive.
Those who qualify themselves,
...

You wanna play head games,
And I ain't gonna 'trip' like that.
Shallow, insecure hide and seek...
In the hopes to attract a playmate,
...

Bingeing on thoughts of romance I am.
Bingeing on thoughts,
Brought on by romance.
...

Running away from the right thing to do,
When the wrong thing has found acceptance...
Just delays those installment payments of blood.
Pretending not to see what is obvious,
...

Exhausted.
From the high cost of living,
Charity giving and donated sweat.
Let's you and me,
...

It had to come to us this way.
Unexpected love.
It had to find us unprepared.
Unexpected love.
...

Through the meadow swift.
With picked twigs and fresh selected sticks...
We run.
Having fun,
...
