4 line Poem. First Cross-Post for Lj Group.

My first 4-line Poetry Post, so I got carried away with 4 poems- I'll keep my posts shorter in the future and the poems too probably..

#1 Casual Greetings:

I have bad habits
Say things better
Left unsaid.
“Hello.”…“I’m doing alright, you know- some people died, but I’m okay.”

#2 "To the One I love:"

I always loved you,
I just hate what you have become.
Love it or leave it, and so I choose to
Stick around, or at least keep coming back.

#3 On hesitating...

I never told her I wanted to love her.
Maybe she already knew.
That might be why she asked
If I wanted her to love me.

#4 Women with art majors and chips on their shoulders, who are pissed off at me right now:

Four lines isn't enough to make up for stupid things said,
Mistakes made, being half-blooded,
2-3 years age difference, or luck of the draw as to when we were born.
And never losing the sibling rivalry or forgiving perceived insults.

-The Real Me, Mad Poet and all.
