Untitled Poem

[qtip912]

I forget that I have this thing. Maybe I'll give it a real post sometime, assuming there are still some of you out there to read it. Anyway, here is a poem I wrote about myself, deeply rooted within in my commitment issues and my great expectations of others. As I get older, and the list relationships that can be summed up by this poem gets longer, I begin to realize what it is I want. Unfortunately, that realization does not make it any easier to find. Where have all the unique women gone?!

someday i am going to hurt you
and i hope it doesn't scar
know now it's not on purpose
and it's not the way you are

please believe i'm not a bad guy
though i have had some bad luck
and i'm sorry you must suffer
from my failings and my faults

you'll call me names, point out my flaws
and then send me on my way
i'll beg forgiveness like the times before
but too little and too late

mournfully, i'll acquiesce
when you say we can't be friends
cuz broken hearts can not forget
and we're too old to pretend

the dating game is complicated
Rhyme or Reason doesn't play
just the simple truth of Live and Learn
so have patience and some faith

someday i am going to hurt you
because we are not meant to be
so if we never speak again, remember
i love you... then, now, and always
