The Nonbelief

--written 8.4.06

haven't loved, never ill
says the girl
with the fiery pen and
the burnt lips
as she glides the pen across the page
with heartfelt emotions
and green eyes of passion and rage
i love no one
with torn-up paper
and an unheld hand
and with that hand she slaps herself
for being so naive
for letting her emotions get the best of her
for believing that guy
for believing herself
for believing in love
