I Mean What I Say Poem by Kenny Mantinelli

This constant loop,
Seems never-ending;
It's the exact same thing,
And I keep on trying.

I've never been,
So close before;
As I was that day,
When my hopes were torn.

My idiotic ways,
Left you out of my league;
Damn me for being so shy,
For showing such fatigue.

But when I finally realized,
What had gone wrong;
It was far too late,
You had come and gone.

I missed my chance,
At an amazing girl;
One as nice as a flock of birds,
As beautiful as a shining pearl.

So now I'm stuck here,
Thinking of what to do next;
Out of every single idea,
A second chance would be the best.

But to be so lucky,
Not for me;
I lost my chance,
Now I'm lost at sea.

I won't call it love,
It wasn't that strong;
But whatever it was,
Surely it wasn't wrong.

And all I could hope for,
Is another way;
To show who I really am,
To show that I mean what I say.
