For Future Reference

I wrote this during a particularly nasty break up. The odd thing is, it still counts...

I'm not the one you're looking for

I'm not the one you want

I'm not the one you're looking for

So I'm taking a stand

You compromise my integrity

You make me feel like a fraud

You say I'm so perfect

Why can't you see my flaws?

Lust makes you blind

but finally you'll see

I'm cracked and broken

You can't stop yourself

from leaving me

So I will beat you to it

to save myself from pain

Find a girl less scarred

and who's more sane

Don't worry, I will manage

Nothing glue won't fix

I'll repair the damage

and build a new wall, extra thick

For future reference.

a write from the heart.. vented out poetically
though expressed in a simple manner throughout, the last phrase gives it a stunning strength.
liked it.
