Casual Friday: Poems from the past

This might be cheating because this is sort of about writing. When I was in high school I used to write songs and poems. I joined the library club because we got to do this open mic coffee house poetry reading where they gave us snacks and coffee and let us read poems. I think we had a weekly meeting, and almost everyone in the club was my friend so I had no trouble getting on stage and reading in front of everyone. I decided today would be a good day to share something I wrote along those lines. Please keep in mind that these are very old and emotionally driven. I haven't written a poem in about ten years.


I wonder what happened to make things so wonderful,
so wonderful that it's pitiful.
I caused you pain, I caused myself pain,
I meant for happiness to remain.
I wanted you,
you claimed you wanted me too.
I never meant any harm,
I never meant to make my way out of your arms.
I never meant to make those mistakes,
to have you back I'd do anything it takes.
This is just wonderful,
we are both misberable.
I never thought it would hurt so bad,
you were the best relationship I ever had.
Then I did something wrong,
then all your feelings for me were gone.
Everything disappeared,
everything was the way that I had feared.
I never meant any harm,
I never meant to make my way out of your arms.
I never meant to make those mistakes,
to have you back I'd do anything it takes.
This is just wonderful,
we are both misberable.
Everything's destroyed,
I destroyed something that I enjoyed.
I destroyed the person I cared for,
I made his feelings towards me not exist anymore.
Everything was so wonderful,
now it's all miserable.
I never meant any harm,
I never meant to make my way out of your arms.
I never meant to make those mistakes,
to have you back I'd do anything it takes.
This is just wonderful,
we are both misberable.
I guess I should just let you go,
I wanted my feelings to be known.
I wanted to tell you that I care,
if you ever need anything I'd be there.
I don't want you away,
I wish you would chose to stay.
I never meant any harm,
I never meant to make my way out of your arms.
I never meant to make those mistakes,
to have you back I'd do anything it takes.
This is just wonderful,
we are both misberable.
