My first – and last – attempt at poetry…
I just really wanted to use my latest cool photo.
Big mistake. I should stick to research papers.
Once again my tears have failed me –
They’ve given me away.
While I told you that I hated you,
I wished that you would stay.
I told myself I deserved better,
And I put on my bravest face.
I pushed you to the back of my mind,
But there are memories I just can’t erase.
You’ve stepped on me –
You’ve beat me down –
And you’ve lied a million times.
Why the hell is it that I still want you around?
I don’t want to be with you,
But I don’t want to be alone –
Why is life so complicated?
I wish I had a heart of stone.
