The Space In Between

You know the times, when you wake up in the morning and stare blankly into the ceiling, and wonder, "What should I do today?" That's basically my life. Real fun. Life's like a neverending cycle of contradictions. Waiting in earnest for exams to be over, only to dread the boredom of having nothing to do in the holidays. Perhaps its just me, but I bet i'm not the only one. I have to admit that there are things to do, people to meet, games to play, movies to watch, books to read. But always, something missing. Even in the company of friends, the lingering feeling is always there, like a phantom stalking me, ready to pounce at me the moment the fun and laughter stops. That's the emptiness I feel, which seems to paint my surroundings grey and dull, bleak and inanimate. Emptiness, the place in between, a place where no one else can enter, that time just seems to stand still......

Why do I keep getting this feeling?

Selfish

Care I how she looks,
Or how well she cooks?
All I want is one,
Who is just like me.

Who feels the way I do,
And shares her deepest thoughts,
For me alone she cares,
Without me she despairs.

Selfish I admit,
But what the hack, dammit!
This is what I am,
Change myself I can't.

Black and dark my soul,
Its nature now unfolds.
But so what if I know,
I'm still the same old crow.


Damn.... Pearl is a nice gal, but the problem is that I'm just an ordinary friend to her, I reckon... If only she wasn't that pretty, I think life would be so much easier for me... Not that I wouldn't like her in that case -- I like who she is -- but that she would appreciate the attention ppl show to her more I reckon... I bet cause she is pretty, there are many other ppl who like her... And as in my poem, I am a damn selfish person I guess, when it comes down to such things... Either have it in totality, or just cast it aside and forget it. That's me. Neither here nor there is the worst...

I guess I feel this way cause while talking to her earlier, she told me about this other guy she knows, and how they actually met.... And I realised, or kinda felt, that she takes on the same attitude towards me as that guy..... wahhhaaa..... and that guy was so obviously interested in her.... i mean, which guy will act as a personal chauffeur for a gal unless he likes her? Ouch. Life's like this.... One sided love.... sux eh.... That's something I don't want at all... if that's the case for me, I rather just forget about her and find someone else, as hard as it may be now, before it gets any harder.....
