I found the note you left behind
It said I’d clouded up your mind
And the clouds grew dark and full of rain
And then released a storm of pain
Then released a storm of pain
A storm of pain
I don’t know why you left at night
And took with you the morning light
It’s not right to leave that way
Believe me babe, someday you’ll pay
Believe me babe, someday you’ll pay
Someday you’ll pay
····Happiness gives into grieving
····Desire waits for relieving
····Faith always precedes deceiving
····And loving is the past tense of leaving
I thought I’d never write you a song
That was before you did me wrong
I guess I get the most inspired
When love grows weary and faith gets tired
Love grows weary and faith gets tired
And faith gets tired
This song is intended to sting
Every time you hear me sing
Maybe some day you’ll know how I feel
Because of you, my words are real
Because of you, my words are real
My words are real
····Happiness gives into grieving
····Desire waits for relieving
····Faith always precedes deceiving
····And loving is the past tense of leaving
········Maybe some day you’ll know how I feel
········Because of you my words are real
············Because of you my words are real
············My words are real

I like the repetition in this. Usually I find it cheesy but I reckon it just works with the poem.

Thanks TimeLady
I know this reply is a bit late but the contest was named "Sing us a Song -- Anything Goes!" . . . which, to me, indicates you're looking for lyrics . . . not poems. In contrast to poems, lyrics are SUPPOSED to repeat; or at least they normally use repetition. It's hard to think of any lyrics that DON'T use repetition.
There must be popular lyrics out there that don't use repetition but I can't think of a single case.
