    Okay, this poem sucks, I know. And I'm not really trying to be mean to anyone who fits the description. It's just about someone in specific I was compared to, so I'm doing a little comparison of my own. Out of bitterness and cynicism, of course.

    Bitter Conceit

    She's all there is and everything
    But she's far too old for you
    She's just too much for you
    And she's lost all interest in you
    I am everything, but nothing
    I may be the perfect fit for you
    But I'm just not enough for you
    Because I'm only in love with you

    Do you love her because
    She's old enough to mother you?
    I will mother our children
    But I would never baby you

    Have fun with your memories
    Because she doesn't love you now
    I'd always loved you
    But you were always lost

    Because she rides a bicycle?
    But I ride mine all summer, too
    Because she's big and strong and tough?
    It's not my fault that I'm barely tall as you
    I can't help that my waist and hips curve
    Instead of running straight from chest to knee
    I'm sorry for being polite and feminine
    When you wanted overbearing androgyny

    Do you love her because
    She could win you in a fight?
    You may be short as me
    But I don't ever want to share your might

    Have fun with your memories
    Because she'll never be back
    I was always here
    But you were always lost

    As she now is to you
