Expecting Rain

Expecting Rain

 

 

You’re such a disappointment

Never reaching my expectations

Always letting me down

Bringing me down

Pushing me down

And I fall

I fall to the ground

And you kick me

When I’m down

 

I can’t expect anything from you

Because if I expect anything

Then I have to expect the hurt

Because the hurt always comes

It never fails

It never fails like you do

 

And I don’t know what to do

I don’t know what to think

I can’t ask anything of you

I don’t want anything from you

I don’t want the pain

The feeling of loss

Of my time wasted

Of my hopes and dreams

Slipping away

Slipping through my fingers

Like raindrops

Falling into a puddle

Never to be identified

Again

 

I’m just going to have to

Expect the expected

Expect for you to let me down

So I don’t feel down

From such high expectations

Anymore 

Author's Note

Never expect anything, because when your expectations are low, they're most likely to be too low, and then something good will happen, and you'll feel better for not having such high expectations.

and if that doesnt make sense, then sorry. Tired

Enjoy!

I wish I could say something other than the "sun will come out again" cliche...but I don't know...I've already talked to you so there's little else I can say...you know my feelings on these things...I still wish I could afford that plane ride...

There is a logic to the thoughts in your author's note, and usually I'd agree full-heartedly. However, you're one of those people that seems to deserve all the good stuff, and should never be let down. Let me let you in on a little something that I learned when I was living in rainy Seattle though: The sky may give you pouring rain much more often than you like, and the wind may carry cold to chill your bones, but the sun always comes back out to warm your face. Keep your chin up Kelsia, and keep hope alive lass. You deserve that much at the very least.

Now, as to the poem, this was well written. You caught the feel of recurring disappointments flawlessly. Just wish you didn't have to have gone through it to write this so well. Ah well, your words were still a pleasure to read, as always. Sad or happy, angry or horny, your work never ceases to amaze!

Aye that it does. I'm still strongly of the opinion though that you deserve better than bitterness. :P
