this one isnt really a poem, its a song i wrote on guitar. which poses two problems: songs tend to be far more predictable and simple both rhythmically and lyrically, so some poetic license was sacrificed...however, i can't exactly play it over the internet, i dont have the equipment... i thought id post it anyhow. what if im not sure if i should call you what if ive found myself to be somewhere i dont want to and i have all these things tugging at me but all i want is you? and what if ive chased you and spent years hoping for this chance and now i could come and get you but ive fallen victim to circumstance? ive waited for so long to hear the gun that starts the race climb out of my chair, my legs have gone to sleep, fall down on my face. i feel like i need you; the principle thats kept me hungry for so long you've become an idol, and i know its just a title, but you could never be the goddess who's in love with me. and you wont cry at all, cause i never made you love me, so i will cry in your place, and you'll never know i loved you or be there to dry my face.
i liked it. i can totally relate to it, but there's one part that confuses me. when it talks about not going after that person, is it bc they can't, or don't want to anymore?
its because the author cant, not only is he otherwise involved with someone who possesses everything they want, but he realizes this dream most likely is not as perfect as he's built her up to be, through his wait..... right qualities, wrong dream.
