On Different Missions Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You may 'now' see,
What I have seen!
But that doesn't mean,
We're on the same scene...
Together.
Or ever.

You and I can not relate.
You and I are not relationship bait.

We,
You and me...
Are on different missions.
And destined to experience separate fates.

You and I can not relate.
You and I are not relationship bait.

And I am quite appalled,
By those accusations you have made.
Then try to apologize for statements laid,
Much too late.
Ones I did not appreciate.

If I recall,
You announced publicly...
How stupid I would appear,
After your expectations of my downfall.

Has time changed your mind?
Did you come here to find me,
Forgiving?
Willing to smolder in afterglow.
Hoping time spent with you,
I'd acknowledge as divine!

What missionary encouraged you to do this?
We,
You and me...
Are on different missions.
The kind that dismisses admissions late.

You and I can not relate.
You and I are not relationship bait.

You may 'now' see,
What I have seen!
But that doesn't mean,
We're on the same scene...
Together.
Or ever.

And I am quite appalled,
By those accusations you have made.
Then try to apologize for statements laid,
Much too late.
Ones I did not appreciate.

Has time changed your mind?
Did you come here to find me,
Forgiving?
Willing to play fool for you,
Again?

You and I can not relate.
You and I are not relationship bait.
Thank God.
