I Never Wanted This.

by Ironic Allure   May 8, 2006


This may sound redundant,
But I think it bares repeating;
I'm sorry; I love you, now leave.

It's just another one of life's little let downs,
When you focus your attention in that single direction,
To keep that someone out of mind,
'Cause one thought of them is all it takes,
To leave the rest of the world behind.
You know there's unfinished business to settle,
But when you've both got something to prove,
Neither one of you will bite the bullet,
You'll stick it out 'til it goes too far,
And what do you know? Here we are.

This may sound redundant,
But I think it bares repeating;
I'm sorry; I love you; now leave.

I heard it through the grapevine, but I won't second guess the truth.
Sometimes your pride gets the better of you.
Don't waste your time, 'cause you won't feel anything,
The new girl on your arm is just something to replace,
Remorseful glances you attempt to throw in my face.
Change your tactics, change your stance,
Maybe this time you'll provoke the chance,
I took on you that time before,
'Cause you know I'll keep on coming back for more.

This may sound redundant,
But I think it bares repeating;
I'm sorry; I love you, now leave.

I'd rather not keep screaming, 'cause we both know how it ends,
Hollywood couldn't write the script, between the best of friends.
There's only one cure, one antidote,
So let's act like no one saw,
Wrap your arms around my waist, like you never have before.
I know my reply before the words have even left your lips,
I never meant to love you, I never wanted this.

This may sound redundant,
But I think it bares repeating,
I'm sorry; I love you, now leave.

The repetitive 'verse' [I'm not really sure what to call it] Is a play on the lyrics Aim, Snap, Fall - The Spill Canvas.kthanks.x

    Strangely enough this whole poem is setting a familiar scene for me ;).

    You can tell a lot of your poem's styles are influenced by the music you listen to. The funny thing is, listening to those songs you get the lyrics,instruments, and vocals all trying to convey the emotion of the piece, and yet only a few of them pull off the same level conviction that your words do by themselves.

    As much as I hate to increase your already overflowing ego :), you are soo talented in many different facets of writing.

    I know this seems more like a review than a comment, (but im sure you will read the entire thing cuz you're pretty gay) It was well deserved for two reasons. One, I don't think I have commented on your stuff before. Two, what better way to celebrate your 300th,200th poem or whatever ridiculous number you are up to that no one should have ever reached on this website.
