Comedy and Tragedy (poem)

My face, joy,
Your face, pain,
My spirit flies,
Yours remains...

My lips smile,
Yours turn down,
My heart laughs,
Yours only frowns...

My love shows,
Yours stays hidden,
My glee erupts,
Yours forbidden...

My awe apparent,
Yours non-existent,
My sleep comes easy,
Yours resistant...

I'm always grateful,
While you bemoan,
Your words are hateful,
They strike me like a stone...

I really enjoyed this and I'm not real big on poetry. Thanks for posting it.

Wow! That says a lot. I'd be putting on my walking boots and leaving that person. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Jean - your words are hateful - they strike me like a stone. It makes me want to break down and cry.

Me, too, Rose... Me, too...
