You

( my love )

I mean

( or should I say )

I DON' T MEAN
THE --- YOU -- OUT THERE

READING THIS POEM

BUT AN IMAGINARY PERSON

---------  well -------
A person who IS REAL
But that I am imagining right now

••

I would tell you about YOU

But I'd rather pretend I'm talking to YOU
rather than talk to you out there

Because basically I'm too scared to face you

So  I address this to YOU

••

Now
Let's get to it

••

YOU

You hurt me !

( now I must say

That ---- I ----
Represented by the word --- ME

Is real

More real than any YOU / you

Or whatever

In fact

I am the only thing that is real

Some have said that compared to me

NARCISSUS

is a humble human being !

••

This is why I don't actually address anyone in my poems

Because I think of you the reader as merely ego busting
arrogant ******

••

Now where was I ?
--

Oh yes



YOU

I  ( let me repeat )
I
( the ME)

I gave YOU           MY LOVE ! ( mine ! )

And YOU !

YOU            **** on it !

So ******* !!

/////

I'm glad that's done with

GOODBYE

******* YOU !

////

Actually

There ain't no YOU

I'm just in love with the word YOU

cause when I use YOU

I don't have to feel anyone but the one I love

ME !

ME !

ME !

Don't you ?
