Dear Expectations.

Dear Expectation,

 

What can I say to you,

that you don't expect to hear.

You seemed to have had me covered,

evey step of the way so far, my dear.

 

How many times have I been left,

languishing in total despair,

Thinking things were a certain way,

but never seeing you hiding there.

 

How about the girl who thought,

I was her knight on a white horse,

and I turned out to have clay feet,

you laughed you head off, of course.

 

I fell in love with "The girl next door",

How wonderful it was all going to be,

only to find out her other seven boyfriends,

all laughing and they were laughing at me.

 

All those millions in the lotteries,

All those none home run hits.

No, Expectations, I've had enough,

I think it's time to call it quits.

 

(c) 5th November 2010.
