Is filled with childish insecurities
and a touch of miserable history

you shout i shake
i yell and your stare never brakes

tomorrow when the sun
cracks through the darkest hours
most likely we will add desperation into the mix

creating a gawking relationship
with a twist

needing to fight
like the ocean needs fish

needing to part
if only we could resist

I am studying poetry independently with my English teach and he told me i should try to write a form of list poetry on arguing... it didn't turn out to be a list poem but i like it :).
