Unrealistic Expectations (Lead to Utter Disappointment)

Unrealistic Expectations (Lead to Utter Disappointment)

A Poem by Phantasmagoric Perceptions
"

I've wasted so much time on you.

"

You are the trap in which I lie

And the burden I must bear

I tried so hard for so many things

Just to wake without you there


I can see clearly now...

The cataracts have been banished

The clouds that used to shelter me

Have all but up and vanished

 

I can feel you for what you really are-

No more than skin and bones

I had built you up to be so much more...

But a woman can't live on a man alone.

 

I tried to make you everything
I thought that you should be

I wanted you to be so perfect

And to cover up the ugly

 

You're nothing but a man,

Much to my disappointment...

I guess it was fun while it lasted...

I know that I enjoyed it.
