kicked,
bruised,
shattered,

broken and battered.

But,
you were the latest,
and perhaps the greatest
disappointment
in a long line of guys.

i had
such high hopes for you.

i think the problem lies
in the expecting of perfection.

I am the romantic idealist
who has seen
too many movies,
and has watched too much tv.

Maybe its time
to put perfection to bed,
and wake up
with reality.

hey I don't know why... maybe you beatin' me up makes me feel alive.
I think you have some talent and so far like everyword- understood everyword I read of you.
I like your your style, which is a disappointment to me.
