It Isn’t Me Poem by Charlie F. Kane

You say that you want someone
To help you find yourself
Someone to take you from the darkness
And to lead you into light
A guy who’ll open each and every door,
But it isn’t me, you don’t know me at all.

You say you want someone
To hold you through the night
To guard you and protect you
Whether you’re wrong or right
Someone who’d never leave you out at night,
Well it isn’t me then, I would only let you down.

You say you want someone
Who will write his lines for you
To share with you his experiences
And to open the vacuum of his heart,
Someone to love you and then more
But it isn’t me then, it isn’t me you’re looking for.

I don’t mean to sound
So rude or insincere
Or that I don’t care at all
I’m flattered by the thought of it all
But I could never be who you think I am,
Because that’s me, not the one you’re looking for.
