I can't keep having these conversations.
In fact, to keep me from imploding
I entertain the idea of myself appealing to you in the future and
That one day, we will be together,
But for now I listen to your rantings
About how cowardly you are and
How repulsive I truly am
Waiting for you to realize
That we were made for each other.
Specifically tailored to suit interests
Maybe not now,
But eventually.
That's the hopeful part of me.

"specifically tailored to suit interests" is a delicious line. I'm not sure whether the pun is intended or not, buuuuut...it just makes it all the more awesome.
"That's the hopeful part of me" is nice, it colours the piece a little differently on a second reading, but it makes me wonder if there's a piece that ends, "This is the non-hopeful part of me."
Actually, I was saving that one for the next post. (The non-hopeful)
Everything Jessica said + *hug* + *rapes heart*
"specifically tailored to suit interests" is my favorite line also.
*hugs*
This...
You know what, I don't think I like this. I don't know why.
I think maybe it's that it's so broken up on the lines? Maybe this would have worked better as a narrative. Something just doesn't quite fit in it.
I like the alternate title more, this time! :P
You and your epic titles! I love them both. I really like this poem and I agree that "specifically tailored to suit interests" is an awesome line. The whole idea of being matched in your faults is great.
