You didn't know it yet,
but you made a mistake
by picking me out of the crowd.
I want more than your
recycled one liners
and puppy dog eyes.
more than you have to offer.


you weren't much for deep thought,
but I have to commend you for trying
...even though I really wish you didn't.
You tried to write poetry for me
because you knew it was my favorite,
but nothing was original,
nothing was special.


if I wanted to hear something
I've heard a million times already
I would have listened to Christmas music.
honey, this is not a game
and my life isn't a revolving door.
You can't just keep going
around and around and around.


if you wanted to be here,
you should have stayed.
now all I want for Christmas is you
walking out that door for good.
