You don't know me "friend"
And I don't care, so what's the difference
I wont watch you pretend
To be concerned with my existence
My life is not some game
What makes you think I'll let you play it
No you can't have my name
I'm not ok. No. Leave me alone! Shit.
This isn't your battle, this isn't your fight
You have no idea what you're getting into
I'm not some maiden in a fairytale
You're definitely not my shining knight
I have no interest in your lovers dream
We aren't living in a fable
You're not a lonely king searching for his queen
You want that story, you might try cable
How is it supposed to feel
When you know, and no one will listen
If you think love is real
Even the pain will glisten
Though my heart break is not new
It is still bleeding and fresh
And I know it wasn't you
But I see his visage in your flesh
Try your luck somewhere else
And if you're left dumbstruck with the crippled organ in your hands
Meet me here and we'll talk
Make bitter jokes and murderous plans
And maybe become friends

Thank you jahughes436. I'm very flattered to have brought Bob Dylan to mind, and though it is quit telling of my youth I must admit had never heard "Positively Fourth Street" before. I hope your pleased to know you have led me to a new favorite for my eclectic musical tastes.

I like this poem. it calls to mind Bob Dylan's "Positively Fourth Street" which opens: "You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend. When I was down you just stood there grinning." Unlike Dylan's song/poem this poem has a shot of hope at the end. I love the second stanza and it's punch line "You want that story, you might try cable. The first three stanzas have a great rhythmic feel to them, the fourth I'm having trouble with but that might just be me. Nice poem.
