By The Way Poem by J M. Basey

Old habbits die hard,
Why do I have to act,
Like a little boy,
When it comes to you,

I can't help but love you,
I can't help but hate you,
I'm battered and bruised,
So deeply confused,

I'll always stay the same,
I do want to be with you,
But I'll always stay the same,
Just to keep myself sane,

You can't have it your way,
I'm in the middle of a breakdown,
Watching you dream,
In the middle of a breakdown,
Dreaming of me,

I guess…

…Old habbits die hard,
Why do I have to act,
Like a little boy,
When it comes to you,

Mind you…

… You can't have it your way,
I'm in the middle of a breakdown,
Watching you scream,
In the middle of a breakdown,
Screaming at me,
