Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Don't be ridiculous.
Of course I missed you.
I wasn't trying to avoid you.
...

There are those who were born,
To have no other purpose in life...
Than to agitate others.
...

Allowing anxieties,
And embittered feelings...
Of how things should be,
And how we'd like to see them done...
...

Never in anyone's wildest dreams,
Would one think in showing others indifference...
Days would come,
To detrimentally affect their own lives.
...

Do them not me like your enemy.
To lock me tight to stop the very breath I breathe!
Do them not me like your enemy.
To lock me tight to stop the very breath I breathe!
...

The moment I hear someone gossiped about,
With a name unheard before...
I know immediately that person is making attempts,
To get something done.
...

Pols taken,
Like anything else isolated...
To target a specific audience,
Are done with specific demographics in mind.
...

An adamant dislike for anything,
One keeps as a reminder...
With a convincing done to others,
They too should adopt such a philosophy.
...

You perceive everything you do,
As a prerequisite of acceptance by others.
Don't you?
No matter what it is,
...

You are falling to pieces,
And you expect me to patiently
Put you back together,
With an application of smothering love.
...
