A Bit of Poetry.

I like putting things in my blog that relate to as many people as possible. I haven't been able to pick a subject to talk about lately, so I have decided to put in one of my older poems. It is one that I consider my best, and it isn't metaphorical or long... just pretty much straight to the point. Everyone I have ever shown it to can relate it to some point in their life, so now I will share it with you, my dear readers. Hopefully, you too can relate. I wrote this in 1998.

All You Wanted

All you wanted was someone to hold you
Someone who made you feel special.
Someone who could make you smile,
And forget all your troubles,
If only for a little while...

All you wanted was someone who would love you
As much as you loved them.
Someone who would never hurt you,
And could always cheer you up,
And take away the blues.

That's all you ever wanted.
And that's all I ever was...
But I wasn't what you wanted.
