Denise

everyone should meet a Denise once in their lifetime

her crooked smile lights up
her silly face she
always makes me
laugh
i could be ready to kill
myself
or someone else and
she can always change my
mind.
she loves my Cuban music
(that's really from Brazil)
and hasn't been to church in
"dions" and she'll never listen
no matter how many times i
say "it's eons it's eons!"
sometimes she drives me crazy
stumbles in the door
bounces on the bed
at 2 am but
most the time
she makes the gray days
seem brighter and her
long red brown blonde
hair i'd pull her by
her nose ring
but that'd really hurt
who is she?
my one of a kind
crazy roomie
adorable bestest
friend.

yeah, this one is very personal. I went to visit her several years ago and she had my poem posted on her wall. :)
