Want to trade something
That you can't obtain?
Like trading sunshine
For a handful of rain.
Want to sell something
That you don't have?
Like trying to sell
A forgotten laugh.
Want to buy something
That you can't control?
Like buying a die
After one roll.
Want to exchange something
That you don't need?
Like exchanging wisdom
When you can't even lead.
Want to bargin for something
That you won't want?
Like a little respect
When all you do is taunt.
Want to browze for something
That you haven't gotten?
Like a important clue
When it's long forgotten.
Want to ask for something
That you won't receive?
Like the truth about you
When it's to decieve.
Want to seek for something
That was never there?
Like the heart of a reason
That you can't bear.
Want to put a price on something
That can never be claimed?
Like an important feeling
Without being named.
Want to shop for something
That hasn't returned?
Like a brisk thank you
Without anything churned.
Pleasure doing business
To someone like you.
For I'll trade you a lie
If you sell everything that's true.

Poetry From Me...
No one seems to read them anymore.
Poems left and right but no where to go.
Either read them...
Or...well...I don't know.
