It's that damn song
with the stupid lyrics
and everytime i hear it
all i can think of is you
thats not suppoed to happen
i'm not suppoesed to still care about you

We both have new and better things now
better for whom though?
for us or those ranked higher than you or i
see what you do to me? you have me all confused

It's not you, it's that damn song
and it's not just the stupid lyrics
the beat has become that of my heart
if it starts on the radio
the first drum-hit is all i need to know what it is
and then i think of you i'm NOT supposed to do that

If i'm not supposed to do care,
then why do i, and why so much?
it's that damn song i always hear
it's as if it's stored in my heart in a bin labled with your name

to make things worse, sometimes i'll put it on
i'll play that damn song time and time again
that's me "trying" not to care
and apparently i'm not doing well because i still do
maybe i still want to care
but i'm not supposed to

i'll cry inside and sometimes out
mostly from jealousy of you being taken from me
and i'm not supposed to care tha because of you,
"i believe in a thing called love"

any thoughts?

The only thought I had when I read it was you have a talent for expressing what I know a lot of people think when they hear "that song".

Muse-ic takes you where you want it to go, but when you reach there it will never let you go, ergo you can never dissociate with a song once you have made it yours. Liken it to the song of the Sirens of old. Once enticed it dashes you against the rocks of life.

For what its worth I think its a great poem

thank you...any others?
