All the love I have known,
Has hurt,
Has burned.
Will I find the exception?
Tell me they're not all one and the same.
Will I find my exception?
Because I want a partner in this game.
All the love I have known,
Has been empty,
Cold.
Will I find the exception?
I don't think it's enough to just hope and pray.
Will I find my exception?
Because I'm getting tired of this game.
All the love I have known,
Has been merely a dream,
A charade.
Will I find the exception?
Or is hate love's new name?
Will I find my exception?
Because I don't want to lose this game.
All the love I have ever known,
Has died,
Vanished.
Will I find the exception?
Why is all I have ever known so inane?
Will I find my exception?
I don't really know the rules of this game.
But,
Maybe,
I'm wrong.
Sometimes,
I like to believe,
Hope against hope,
Pray against prayer,
That all I have ever known are exceptions...
Will I find the exception?
How long do I have to wait?
Will I find my exception?
Because I refuse to believe that this is just a game.
Inspired by the song 'The Only Exception' by Paramore.

"The all I have ever known are exceptions" turns the poem around because it suggests that the narrator's previous experience was exceptional, rather than the people in it.
