Everything I Want

by Lindsay Ann - Gemini

I cant believe that amongst all the things life offers
I have to live with this 
Knowing you won't leave my mind
Knowing we'd never work
Sad because I'M too good for YOU?
It doesn't make sense

Am I so interested in your unatractivness?
Your bad habits, your carelessness?
The fact that you would kiss anything
you could get your hands on? (and I mean on)
No. Not these things. Not ever.

All that's left, then, 
is your heart.
Extracted from the rest of you,
you wouldn't be so terrible
Of course, with the exception that you are the only one
that can break a broken heart.

But me and your heart can not live
happily ever after. No. Not ever.

Besides, I have a boyfriend now
Not that it stopped you before.
But you don't see me dishing out poem 
after poem about him

All I can do is sit here and hope that on my wedding day you will take vacation from my mind

All I can't do is everything I want.

Reason for writing:

    The jerk that I just can't forget about
