Back pedalling to Mexico.

I see your with another guy,
You’ve got my sympathy,
I began to think and wonder why,
You were never happy with me
I get an empty look from you,
I’m the one to blame,
The mistrust came from me and grew,
And it brought us down in flames.

Your pedalling back to Mexico,
Who do you think I am?
Your running up against the flow,
And I will be the dam.

I see that you are back with him,
But I see you look at me,
I feel that I must turn away,
I cannot let you see,
Those feelings that are brought back,
And I’m feeling drunk tonight,
My heart is shrivelled and black,
And I’m looking for a fight,

Your back pedalling to Mexico,
Who do you think I am?
Your running up against the flow,
And I will be the dam.

Thanks for reading this err I'm sorry I haven't replied in ages but I have read most of the posts on the boards even if I haven't commented, it's part laziness and partly because I don't spend much time online. Anyway thank you for reading and I have enjoyed reading a lot of your (very unspecific I know)  work lately.

This was really well written and used some very profound images. i think that if you make a little more time to reply to other people's work you will find that the number of replys to your own increases (in theory anyway).  anyway, good job and keep posting.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

This amazed me. I felt like it just stopped out of nowhere though. I don't know.....it sounded like it'd be an awesome song. The title is very very good and I just love the whole poem. Very well done.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I'll agree with BBC.  (isn't that a british TV station?   )  There are omni-repliers like me and Dopes, and look how many replies we get in our threads!  Loads!
I really loved this one, I agree with Javier that it'd make a spiffy song.  The title really drew me in as well.     Nothing original in my reply.
