I was hoping....(inspired by Alanis Morrissette's song)

Sometimes I look into your eyes and see what could have been,
The funny way you look at me in response, I can see it's not the same.
I want to hold you close to me but I've woken up and then,
I've realized all I was to you was just a silly game.

I know I sometimes tried too hard, to be just what you needed,
But in the end it was plain to see, you expected way too much from me.
All those times I thought you were, just what I was hoping for, you were not, thus the side of my curb you greeted.
Kicked you out, away from me, and it turns out, you were just another heartache, multiplied by three.

Amazing! This is a wonderful poem, I've felt this way many a time, I love your form of expression, in each and every one of your poems!
Best line: "it turns out, you were just another heartache, multiplied by three."
Fabulous!

Hello......good....good....and good. I liked it a lot.




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