Just A Knucklehead Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Just A Knucklehead



What do 'I' want?
Love and devotion from someone true and loyal.
Someone free of foolishness.
And we fulfill each other's needs,
Without rejection that solicits angryness.
Someone who mutually comprehends...
Where we are going.
And from where we've been.
I want someone with happiness to share.
And that happiness together gets us somewhere.

'Well...
What about me? '

You?
YOU?

You and I argue too much.
And when we disagree,
We leave each other out of touch.
And when we solve our indifferences...
Only to return,
To ask forgiveness with apologies to give.
We begin to reminisce the importantness,
That we are here to live.

We communicate with understanding.
And sit to listen...patiently.
There is no challenge in that at all.
No secrets deceived to be misunderstood!
Don't you want someone to manipulate...
If you could?

'What about me?
You know I want tolerate that instability! '

I know.
We 'are' too close and that shows.

'You're just a knucklehead.
That's exactly what you are.'

You see!
That proves to me...
Why you and I can not have a relationship meant to be.
You think you can say anything you know will upset me.

'I know your head is as thick as a brick.
And you can not see the forest...
Because you're building a wall around the trees.
Believing you hide emotions I can not see.
You're just a knucklehead! '

And what is that suppose to mean?

'If right now I should expose my toes...
You will look over your shoulder.
To let others know,
They belong to you and have been sold.'

Oh...
So what are you trying to say?
My nose is not the only nose,
That has been exposed to your toes?
You want to see someone else besides me?

'Are you kidding?
After all we've been through?
Pretending we don't love each other,
As much as we clearly do.'

And what is that suppose to mean?
You've got it worse than I do.
I don't have to be here.

'I know.
Me neither.'
