I'm not really a poet, but that seems to be the hot topic right now. This is a real short poem about a second go-round with a girl that you just can't say no to.

I don’t think I can do this again
Here I go again…
She wants me but I want her
Every night it starts again
A phone call, a dinner, a movie
The park, her place, my place
It’s like high school all over again
I enjoyed it once but I don’t wanna go back
Some things only need to happen once
Is this one of them?
I don’t think I can do this again
Here I go again…
She wants me but I want her
Every night it starts again
A bar, a dance, a kiss
The walk, the talk, the feeling
I can’t say no to her
She looks too good, talks too good
Shes going too fast, I like it
Am I amiss, again?
I don’t think I can do this again
Here I go again
I don’t think I can do this again
Here I go again

Nice piece!
I am a little confused at where your breaks are though. Are you looking for a measured meter? You seem to start a consistency with the introduction line
I don't think I can do this again
Here I go again....
In some places they appear to begin a stanza, and at other times they are tacked on the end, and then repeated right afterwards as an introduction?
She wants me but I want her?
You said it twice, so it has gathered significance/ What do you mean? You do want her, or you don't? Is "But" the operative word that you were looking for? Possibly a typo. Or is there an intended meaning there?
I think you might find a better flow if you take a second look at how your stanzas split, and whether you intend to end a stanza with your phrase of "I don't think....... here I go again, and then start the next stanza with the same. I like it on the end of the poem, as it brings a culmination by repeating the thought. But I think that it might be better if you dropped one of these phrases where they run together back to back in the body of the poem.
Overall, I like the sentiment of the message, and I like the simple portrayal of a common dilemna. At least I think you are speaking of a common dilemna where one person wants the relationship, and the other one doesn't or maybe you are saying you both want the relationship, (which I think is the more likely) but you haven't really stated either way because of the ambiguity of the phrase "She wants me BUT I want her"... It is hard to glean the actual meaning,, but if you make it decicive one way or that other it will be a good poem. Considering that you don't do poetry, I think you have a pretty good work here once the small indescrepencies have been assessed by you, and fixed in whatever way that you see will bring about your thoughts.
Good luck with this, and keep putting those thoughts into writing. You are off to a great start. I am looking forward to seeing which way this poem will lean.. Now I am curious... Jeanie.... still chasin the dream for a better tomorrow for all.
i really like it. it reminded me of a pop punk song.
it is very easy to grasp the theme of the poem. a guy that is "too old" for the way hes behaving. he thinks he shouldnt be, but continues too because females are seductive. thats how everyone is now.
to me, it came as kind of upbeat and poppy. i read it through fast the first time, and it flowed somewhat like a song, except without ryhme.
when i read it, i imagine a girl that i couldnt say no too and i put myself itn it. i think the images worked out fine.
you only need to do some things once... unless you cant say no.
i think the poem flows well but
I don’t think I can do this again
Here I go again
is repeated alot and it threw me off.
like i said, the one part is repetitive, but other than that it was good.
you should consider using more commas.
i liked it



Hi there hope this finds you doing well.
I think you did well on this poem, i enjoyed reading it many of us have been there before that is a reality.
I was thrown off by this sentence every time you used it:
IT seems like you want to say either: She wants me AND I want her, or She DOES NOT want me but I want her.
The word BUT throws me off in that sentence with the way you have it laid out now.
Overall I thought it was quick, and delightful and a good write.
Thanks for sharing with us
