Nothing but a Childhood Dream

You ask me if I love you, I say I love you

More than words can say and I will until my

Dying day but I lie, it’s just a lie but I

Don’t want to see you cry so I lie just waiting

For something better to come along and the

Day I can tell you goodbye...

I don't want to live without someone in my life

But at the same time if you can't keep me happy

Then just let me be free, I guess you can say I

Want my cake and eat it too maybe that's cruel

And someday I'll pay for deceiving you but my mama

Told me not to burn your bridges until you’re sure

You have found that one special someone, the one

You have looked your whole life for but I'm not

Getting any younger and so that makes me wonder

Will I ever, the older I get I'm really starting to see

People for what they are and it breaks my heart

But I can't judge anyone 'cuz a saint I ain't and

Sometimes just rotten to the core still I wonder now

Does anyone really love anybody anymore or is it

Just a fairy tale we've been conditioned to believe in

JUST, JUST A CHILDHOOD DREAM...

I can't speak for you but to me love is just another

Name for lust and then once you've had enough, it’s

Time to find a new plaything and the game begins all

Over again...

Ok well what the hell on with the games, you’re just

An end to a means and a CHILDHOOD DREAM...

NOTHING BUT A CHILDHOOD DREAM!

Society sure does have us all believing that we're supposed to fall in love and be with that one person forever--saying our wedding vows and sticking to them at all costs. Yet science says that we change everyday. What are the chances that we change together? I've been trying to avoid writing a poem just like this one for some time. I'm not ready yet to say all that of my own relationship. Somedays, it certainly feels like a lie. Other days I think 'Gosh, I don't want to be alone.' Thanks for making me think.
