you know that
I wear my crazy
on my sleeve.
it's best if
you just
let me be.
aren't there other
train wrecks
for you to go
and see?
if you really
love me,
then leave.
because there
isn't anything
here but me.
I would be tempted to have the final line read...
"here but me"...to bring it full circle.

I can definitely relate to this LB and agree wholeheartedly with Andy's 'fine' comment.
Your poetry is always well presented on the page which I like a great deal especially this 3,3,4,3,3 line structure.
Thanks for posting.

Fine is such a misused word. I say it all the time when asked how i am, often to deflect further questioning. I get the feeling that's how you're using it here.
There are several words i think you could drop to make the poem even more terse.
Hope all's well with you and yours.
Keep 'em coming.

Sorry it's been awhile since I've logged on! I agree--"fine" is way to overused. M.C., I like the "here to me" suggestion. Thanks for taking the time to read and drop a line!
