That you never had the misfortune of meeting me that night
I wouldn't know and feel how empty my world really is now
And my lonely days might not so cold without you in them

With each tick, my heart screams and breaks for your embrace
Yet my head aches over what I know is the right thing to do
Because my Quixotic ideals are entirely much too stubborn
Undoubtedly you could do a whole lot better than me

For you need a special soul, one that will compliment your own
That someone who will make you smile and hope once again
A person who'll walk with you hand-in hand into tomorrow
And surely not all over you like I most certainly would

I do love you so very much and my resolve is not really great
So don't tell me you anything positive such as you love me
You truly can't mean it from your heart and I'm too weak
And you deserve more than this broken dreamer

I can't even save myself from myself, let alone rescue you
No, I can't and won't do this you -- my sweetest desire
I'm definitely not some gallant knight in shining armor
Just a loser who can't even afford aluminum foil

Remembering your smile and so very afraid for your dreams
Know always how much I care and will ever think of you
But I'm not the one you should reach for in the dark
I'm just some tragic clown who wanted too much

I never wished for any heartbreak or disappointments in my life
But they seem to have found me and that's all I have to offer
So before I share this waste with you and shred your joy
Turn and go and don't look back...for even clowns cry [comments] => 5 [counter] => 325 [topic] => 52 [informant] => reprobate [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => goodbyepoetry )

ok i will hold my hands up now and openly admit im terrified of clowns...
that aside again you hit that place in my heart that most poetry struggles to reach....ok still a lil with the clowns...
this is how i always felt with the guy i left in england. i told him from the start to never expect too much from me... then i fell in love with him..damn that was the first "mistake" then i left him to persue my dream... and finally someone find how to voice their emotions...

but seriously your poetry touches me in ways i forgot good writing could...
