We never, We Always

[wagravity]

I never knew that I could be so ignorant
You never said that you wanted out of this
I saw the signs, you tried to hide
Heard your stories about me
They're all lies

I never knew that I could be so understanding
You never said that you were so good at planning
To a "T", I crossed your mind
Your script devised
With dotted "I's"

You don't know me as well as you think

I'll only wear you as long as you look good
My fashion has long gone out of style
I'll keep you waiting on the back of my stove top
You'll share the hot spot until I forget your smile

I always knew that you would end up without me
You always said that we could make it through anything
Your senses lack, behind my back
Beware of my spine
Before you begin to stab

I always knew that our timing was miscued
You always said there's no way our future could fall through
Flames ignite. Who's wrong? Who's right?
Why does your love
Feel like your bite

I didn't love you as much as you think

I'll only be there when there's something you offer
Your independence is impressive to very few
I'll keep you waiting for me to turn around
I lack ambition 'til it comes to destroying you

I like the way you constructed this poem. Even though it is about the heartbreak theme, I found it a good read and the pain is evident in the lines. Well done.

thanks for the responses, the "heartbreak" theme is well over used, i agree. but it's something everyone goes through, it's definitely the easiest thing to right about, and if it's done right it still works.

not sure if i did it right, but it works for me

Off to read this one to the man... well yes, the heartbreak theme is overdone, you've done well to avoid the cliches and stereotypes that usually go hand in hand with said theme.
