I Do..

The laughter rings in my ears.
The smile is pasted on my face,
forever real and forever fake.
I know that you think that I don't see,
that I don't know,
that I don't understand,
but I do.
I see how easily replaced I am,
I know how someone else can slide into my spot,
I understand that they are more welcome,
than me.
I do,
see.
I do,
know.
I do,
understand.
So while the laughter rings in my ears,
while the smile stays plastered on my face,
I see,
I know,
and,
I understand,
I do.

"...If the Thames that ran beside them...recalled a night where the moon shone as brightly as a shilling on the same boy and girl... and thought to themselves, 'at last, the wheel comes full circle,' they kept their silence."

AMAZING. Stunning. I love repetion, so this was perfect. I wanted to quote part of it, to show i liked that part especially, but i wouldve had to paste the entire poem. I like the emotional portrayl. Very very very nice! this is absolutley goung to be in my favorites!
