Poems With Choruses

by Robson Junior

YDWML!

Convincing yourself that some things wouldn't work out is hard. I wrote this one in an attempt to believe it, hiding the predictable title choice behind an acronym.

YDWML!

Feeling too much and too fast
It’s not healthy for me
Not healthy for you if you knew
I’ve been transparent in every move
If you wanted this, it would show through

I can’t force down the beating
And I’ve been dreaming of
Back-to-back endless nights
But I think I should’ve made myself clearer
We’re back-to-back, but the wrong type
What I really wanted was eye to eye

You don’t want my love
And it hurts, I can’t lie, I can’t deny
But don’t you make it rough
I’ve already lost all my will to fight
You don’t want my love
And it hurts, but it’s alright, it’s alright
I don’t want your love
‘Cause you wouldn’t love me enough

I won’t be fighting for you
By now I should be done seeking approval
Almost at the end of the line
And these feelings that I can’t define
Trapping me up, tightening, brutal

But I can’t force down the beating
And I’ve been dreaming of
Things that I’ve never done before
And somehow, I’d really want some more

You don’t want my love
And it hurts, I can’t lie, I can’t deny
But don’t you make it rough
I’ve already lost all my will to fight
You don’t want my love
And it hurts, but it’s alright, it’s alright
I don’t want your love
‘Cause you wouldn’t love me enough

Funny how sincerity’s in your lips
Even when they’re forever shut
I have you on my mind when I go to sleep
And you're my first thought when I wake up
Each time I think about us, it's so absurd
Because it’s obvious that

You don’t want my love
And it hurts, I can’t lie, I can’t deny
But don’t you make it rough
I’ve already lost all my will to fight
You don’t want my love
And it hurts, but it’s alright, it’s alright
I don’t want your love
‘Cause you wouldn’t love me enough
