Maybe this time I'll try harder,
Maybe now will be better.
This one can be right,
I need to be happy with someone one day...

You are not the one, huh?
I should've guessed; you're like the rest.
Expect too much of you...
Expect too much of me.

Why can't I ever get this right?
Is it never going to be okay?
All alone seems better than this.
All alone hurts like heck.

I see you there, it's different now.
I don't need you, you don't need me...
What's left for us to say?
I bid farewell, yet again.
Sad but true, and another one bites the dust.

Well considering the title is from a song...... it's a great poem. I personally try not to copy lines from other songs, or people and such. But it did fit perfectly so i can't really condemn you for that. The poems messages sucks for you , ya know? I mean that really sucks that you can't get Mr. Right......but who does at our age? No many..... so all i'm sayin is ....patience is a virtue......no need in rushing things or people. You know you're cool.....just stay true and chilllllzzzzzz out with your friends like i do......adios

Well, I realize that the title has already been used before...(well sort of) but many poems and songs have the same (or almost the same) titles... and they are completely different. Since the line does fit, and the poem is NOTHING like the song, I don't think it's wrong. I realize you weren't condemning me, I just figured I'd say that.

This poem really tells your feelings well.  I like it, but the situation behind it does suck as Dopey said.  Anyway, good job!
