Good times...things to think about and time to make it all the more complicated in my head.
Notes,
I tried to study the past week,
I tried to concentrate on something else,
I tried to block you out
It's impossible to block something that's a part of you
You failed
I failed.
Notes,
I have nothing left to think about
I have music drowning what's left of this throbbing
Notes,
A reminder
Notes,
A blessing
Notes,
My distraction.
Notes,
I shouldn't have been so messy,
Fool
It's hard to read
Hard to see what I mean
Cloudy
Grey
Dark
Falling
Finally
No
No?
No notes.
Why not?
I don't know
You're losing
What?
You're not going to win
I don't want to win
Yes you do.
I do?
Yes, you do.
I do.
Wait
Win at what?
Her
I don't understand
That's why you're losing
How do I win?
Notes
Notes are stupid
You're stupid
That doesn't make sense
You are notes.
How?
You're trying too hard,
The lesson
Is in the person.
The teacher?
Sure, the one you're standing beside.
No one is here
Who is there?
Just me.
She's a part of you.
Then what are you?
You.
Oh.
-Milton

I really like this poem! It probably wasn't supposed to make me laugh, but I still think the last two words are funny. It's really good though; I love how it has two voices... anyways.... yeah.
