This is important...to you

This is important…to you

With life comes expectation’s, we only disappoint.

With love comes expectation’s. I have to disappoint.

They tell me I must celebrate getting closer to the end.

I tell them I don't want to and I don't have to, without a girlfriend.

With love you are obligated. Without I am free to choose.

They tell me it is another opportunity wasted,

To find someone I do,

Want to fall in love with;

I could end the night with a kiss.

I say there are three hundred and sixty four other days

And she would find me any other time, if she truly knew me.

I do not wish celebrate this day,

So come back tomorrow and try again.

If you are only willing to try to love me once,

Then we will never find a way, so I think you should bounce.

If love is not committed, then tell me, what is it?

If love has rules that I must follow religiously,

Then where is the spontaneity?

I want love at first sight and true insight,

Not being forced to be happy this night.

If I must, then I will begrudgingly

And I will wear a plastic smile and empty eyes;

So tell me if they will still want me?

If you cannot understand my reasons,

Then there is no helping you.

I will not be helped to help myself,

No matter what the season.

I will remain in oblivion,

Searching for the driven,

Waiting again for passion,

To call out my name.

I carry my pain in a box of misfortune,

As I walk alone down memory lane.

Your glass is half full, my soul is shattered.

Happy Birthday...doesn't matter.
