Best Wanted Poems

I wanted
peanut butter and jam
But settled
for bread and butter
I wanted a puppy
but got a hamster instead
I wanted you to live forever
Until I wished you were dead

You promised me everything
it was always less than enough
You lacked imagination
I was never interested in stuff
Instead of substance you offered...

After graduating from eighth grade,
She wanted to be part of the novitiate,
of the Holy Sisters of Nazareth.
Dad put his foot down loud and hard.

How she went from that, to nurse,to 
teacher ,to comedian and bellydancer?
Are eternal questions to which she...

I wanted to...

Vs 1
I saw you the other day...
and you looked so frail
It hit me hard to see you...
so thin and so pale
all my bitterness...just melted away


Bridge 1
All my life you were so strong,
a tough guy in every way,
You tried to look after mom,
making mistakes...

Wanted

Someone soft and warm and sweet,
someone with a soul.
Someone for times when I am weak
to rise and take control.

Someone to stand beside her man
without thought for all his lack.
Someone that when he's not around
she still will have his back.

Someone whose laughter's made of joy
who worships...

A plucky fellow wakes us up each day at dawn
To the tune of cock-a-doodle-do we yawn

How grateful we've been that we need no alarm
His sunrise serenade has far more charm

EXCEPT on weekends when we are free to sleep in
Want to stuff a sock in his...

no greater love can ever live
nothing can equal what i give
no single act of love is the reason why
many were the sacrifices i gave I
by no means ephemeral
the tears i have cried
my youth and beauty i had to give up
the fun the parties that kind...

We always wanted a wife, my husband and I.
He wanted one he could order about.
Laugh. Snort. Snarl. Growl….
I wanted one to do the dishes.
 
We always envisioned her as willing to help, my husband and I.
He wanted her to do his bidding, carry his food...

All I ever wanted was love,
they never loved me enough,
I don't  think they even knew the
meaning of love.....
To them love is fighting, arguments, curse words, beating, putting eachother 
down, and cheating.....that is all I know, that is all I seen.
All I have are unhappy...

I wanted to tell you how magnificent you were.
Your laugh, your smile, the way you said hello to everyone.
I wanted to run up to you and say “You are glamorous!”
I wanted to say “I love you!” because I loved your spirit.
I admired your reckless fearlessness....

When I want u so bad I could have died inside 
Died Inside my mind with out even noticing 
Screaming at myself without hearing a note of it 
Thoughts of u are running through my veins 
Like a poison ivy strangling...

All I wanted to say was…
and then like frost upon moonlit logs
thrown upon a winter fire,
the words melted in my mind,
evaporated on my tongue,
vapour in the night.

All I wanted to say was…
and as condensate on panes of glass
before the sweep of cloth,
the essence wiped from...

The clothes pile has started to form itself into a grotesque man
The bedroom door will no longer open due to the heavy garbage can
The stench of the dirty dishes is annoying to say the least.
To get it all out of my mind I take a...

    And it beat with...
