Monologue Poem
by Noah Alter

One is happenstance, Twice is coincidence, Three times is enemy action.
You know what I did?
Why did it happen again?
Are you now my enemy?
Did I do something wrong?
Tell me what I did!
I know I may have wronged….
Don’t we all?
Please forgive me!
You STILL won’t tell me!
Why did you treat me that way?
Then you treated me that way again?
How can I ever please you?
I’m so hurt!
I’ll do anything to make things better!!
The way they used to be…
Better times!
I’m surrounded by darkness,
Nothing pleases me like you did,
I felt complete before,
Are we enemies?
I think we are…
I was only being honest with you…
Why can’t you accept it?
I accepted your mistakes!
I felt like I wronged!
Have those feelings between us gone away?
Yes, I think they have…
Once is happenstance, Twice is coincidence, Three times is enemy action.
