They all say that loneliness is a cold mistress
But being cold blooded I think I'm gonna miss it
Just me, myself and I to roam the world
But now she's here and she's ain't leaving
By the end of the week I'll be a madman screaming
I wish I could jump off the edge of the world
She can't take no for an answer
And even when I have the chance for
A way to get her off of my back
I mess it up and I fall through
All these things that I must do
Why can't I paint her blue skies black
But now I'm crazy and starting to panic
The humidity is causing a static
Cling between me and that girl
I need to get far away
So far that she won't follow me
But so far she hasn't been deterred
I want to leave this place tomorrow
But why bother with all the sorrow
Memories of drunken days won't leave
I need to just accept the fact
Or get this woman off my back
She needs to wear emotions on her sleeve
But maybe I'm the one who's in denial
After all it's been a while
Since I've opened up to anyone at all and
It's been five summers; it's been five springs
It's been five winters in full swing
It's been five autumns since I've fallen
And now I think I might like her
I'll have to see, I'm not so sure

Very nice. I like the way you progressed from running scared to giving it some consideration. Yay for a persistent girl

Thanks for your entry.

It's not contradicting, if you read the poem it progresses from completely denying the girl to slowly opening up to the idea of her, and by the end he is accepting her and giving her a chance... it's all about progression
