Poems Aren't Nice

So why do I
Write poems now?
Because I can,

Honestly, this is a
Way that I can connect
With you newly.

Truly, understandably
Unruly, sometimes,
Poems aren't nice.

Don't have to, but
should talk about
Flowers and skyscapes and space,

No rhyming here,
No skin to touch,
Not even a chance.

You are pulling away,
I am trying to stay,
Misled by the look on your face.
