some thing

by Melanie J Yarbrough

you are mistaken.

he was in love with the fight
for you,
with the look in his opponents' eyes
and
his warm feelings
at night
of having accomplished something.

you are that something.

some
thing.

falling in love with the fight, not the person...ahh, i think this happens too often. competitive types and those who love challenges forget that it's an individual's affection that they're after, not a victory. i like this for the simple fact that it captured something so real, so honest that happens that most people never pick up on. almighty M.Y...fine write.

You convey so much in this short verse. Also, I feel like you almost don't believe this yourself though but in a very personal way. I love the ending.. that really says it all, an object as opposed to a human being. Great read :)

sometimes I think everyone is mistaken. especially myself.
