My deal-with-a-break-up-poem. It is bittersweet, and pretty accurate.
Love Story (All wrong)

A first meeting full of jokes and laughter,
A quick embrace to say good-bye,
A hidden glance, but make sure no one sees.
It's a love story all wrong.

A romantic evening, filled with curses and my shock,
A quick grasping of hands; what would the others say?
A lingering kiss while watching out for Mom.
It's a love story all wrong.

His "I love you" after only three days,
"I wanna sleep with you" follows shortly,
A shocked expresion on my face, speechless and suddenly shy.
It's a love story all wrong.

A boy from the wrong side of the tracks,
A part-time goody-two-shoes, ready-to-please girl.
A smothered feeling, can't breathe let me out!
It's a love story all wrong.

A gentle let-down: "I'm sorry, I can't handle it."
It's true, can't stand the pressure of being perfect, his "angel".
I'm not supposed to tower over him on my pedestal; what if I'd fallen?

That was our love story.

All wrong.
