Didn't Want But Did

I don't want to write about where I am right now.
I don't want you to care,
to share and flair your skintight jeans.
I don't want you to hear me cry.
Don't want you to know why, or believe, deceive.
I don't want you to see my bruises,
don't want you to fall, to stall on love.
I don't want you to tenderize me,
polish the edges from their rough.
I do want you to fasten the loops,
and take the troops and go.
I do want you to escape my wrath,
I've burnt my path, my stained road.
I do want you to release the passion,
in it's hottest fashion, to the sky, to the sky.
I do want you to grin with the munchkins by the sea,
it's me, this time, it's me...set you free.
I do want selfish fish for dinner and tickles in the grass.
But it was me. Who didn't want but did.

Packs a wallop Spitfire. Sure does. Yep!
Lots of resolution and emotion in there. Yep! Yep! And I liked it a whole bunch...yep! yep! yep!

"But it was me who didn't want and did."

I think that says it for eveyone.

Well, as usual, I love your stuff. "I've burnt my path, my stained road", what a great line. I think we are both having some similar things happening..Thanks for reading all my poems, too.

I was keen on that line, too. And the others as well, of course! I love the idea behind the poem, doing something you know you shouldn't. I can relate to that!
