      Being an adult is… Crazy. What are you worried about currently? I’m worried the WGA [Writers Guild of America] will have to strike for longer than is sustainable for individuals. But they will win so I’m really not ‘worried’ at all. If someone could

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      DREAMS NEVER COME TRUE

      DREAMS NEVER COME TRUE

      (Poems from the Underground)

      Copyright © 2013 by Jason Wallace

      *DISCLAIMER* Some of these poems have sequences of strong adult language. Other writings of mine are much more graphic and of a sexual nature. For purposes of keeping this text a little cleaner, I have chosen not to include the most graphic of my writings. I have attempted to note all graphic writings with the words: (some adult language). If I have failed to mark all of them, I apologize to those readers that find such writing offensive. Please know that it was in no way my intention to fail to mark such writings.

      Chapter 1

      Dreams Never Come True

      I used to think it was us.

      I used to think it was you.

      But now all I can think

      Is dreams never come true.

      Was it me, Baby?

      Was it no use?

      Is there a reason

      Dreams never come true?

      I can't stand wishin

      On stars that deceive.

      I can't be with you

      When you can't believe.

      I don't know what happened

      To what we thought we knew...

      But now it makes sense

      Since dreams never come true.

      My whole life has been wasted.

      I've never been much.

      I've come close to dreams that faded

      And then lost every bit of trust

      Because someone else didn't

      Know what they had

      And I could never be happy

      When I only made them sad...

      But though you don't believe me, Honey...

      There's one promise

      I can make to you...

      No matter what else happens...

      Dreams never come true.

      If one day you want me

      Like I wanted you,

      I won't be waitin

      Cuz dreams never come true.

      The dream you made me believe in

      Is now the nightmare I knew

      Would come around some day

      Cuz dreams never come true.

      I'm tired of holdin

      On to anyone new

      Because all of the old

      Were dreams that never came true.

      I don't want nothin

      Or someone, too.

      The dream that died lately

      Is the dream I call you.

      And the dream I wanted

      Will never come true.

      My whole life has been wasted.

      I've never been much.

      I've come close to dreams that faded

      And then lost every bit of trust

      Because someone else didn't

      Know what they had

      And I could never be happy

      When I only made them sad...

      But though you don't believe me, Honey...

      There's one promise

      I can make to you...

      No matter what else happens...

      Dreams never come true.

      So if you find somebody

      Somebody new...

      Know he's no better

      Than what I gave to you...

      But I have nothin I can give

      Cuz you took it all

      And made me want somethin

      Not worth wearin down my wall.

      So I'll build it back up

      And let no one through

      Since you proved once again

      That dreams never come true.

      My whole life has been wasted.

      I've never been much.

      I've come close to dreams that faded

      And then lost every bit of trust

      Because someone else didn't

      Know what they had

      And I could never be happy

      When I only made them sad...

      But though you don't believe me, Honey...

      There's one promise

      I can make to you...

      No matter what else happens...

      Dreams never come true.

      I spent years

      Gettin it all wrong,

      Wishin and waitin

      For somethin good to come along

      And every time I feel it

      It leaves me blue

      Because everything that seems perfect

      Is another dream that won't come true.

      I Don’t Need to Know

      You told me tonight

      That we really need to talk

      I said go ahead

      You said hardly anything at all

      All you could say to me

      Is you can’t make it work

      All I could say was ok

      I didn’t want to cause you hurt

      But I’m the one hurtin here

      The one that was left all alone

      Maybe I could’ve believed in it more

      Maybe I could’ve let my feelings show

      Maybe you have someone else

      Just like I’ve been thinkin like before

      And I don’t need to know

      I don’t need to know

      Your reasons for letting go

      I don’t need to know

      What you are leavin me for

      I don’t need to know

      Why I don’t measure up

      I don’t need to know

      Except have you left enough

      Left enough of anything of me

      Except for that

      I don’t need to know

      I don’t need to know

      Why you don’t want me

      I don’t need to know

      Why I didn’t hold strong

      To right in front of me

      I don’t need to know

      What went wrong this time

      I don’t need to know

      Because it won’t make you mine

      I don’t need to know

      Anything except how I can go on

      I don’t need to know

      What you plan to be doin now

      I don’t need to know

      But I wonder if I don’t deserve this somehow

      You might regret this down the road

      But I don’t need to know

      I don’t need to know

      Your reasons for letting go

      I don’t need to know

      What you are leavin me for

      I don’t need to know

      Why I don’t measure up

      I don’t need to know

      Except have you left enough

      Left enough of anything of me

      Except for that

      I don’t
