Wish I Never

Never thought that I would find
I'd rather not keep you in mind

Never thought that I would choose
Your admiration to lose

Never thought about the pain
That loving you would leave my brain

Never thought I'd consider you
Someone I wish I never knew.


Nobody else has made me weep
So much for love too spoiled to keep

Nobody else has made me cry
So much for love that could not fly

Nobody else has left me longing
So much for love with no belonging

Nobody else as much as you
Someone I wish I never knew.


I did not see and could not know
To what extent we could not grow

Together, we were matched supremely
But still, a pairing most unseemly

I could have failed, you could have tried
But I tried, you failed by and by

Like storm clouds in a sky of blue
Someone I wish I never knew.


The years have passed, the time has gone
The dark has brought many new dawns

But to this day, you've been my downfall
A square hole trying to fit a round ball

A sweet tooth trying to taste a spicy treat
An herbivore trying to taste meat

A hammer trying to twist a screw
Someone I wish I never knew.
