Four poems about relationships, min 15 lines and max 30 lines...  here it goes:

FAMILY REUNION by Sylvia Plath

Outside in the street I hear

A car door slam; voices coming near;

Incoherent scraps of talk

And high heels clicking up the walk;

The doorbell rends the noonday heat

With copper claws;

A second's pause.

The dull drums of my pulses beat

Against a silence wearing thin.

The door now opens from within.

Oh, hear the clash of people meeting ---

The laughter and the screams of greeting :

Fat always, and out of breath,

A greasy smack on every cheek

From Aunt Elizabeth;

There, that's the pink, pleased squeak

Of Cousin Jane, out spinster with

The faded eyes

And hands like nervous butterflies;

While rough as splintered wood

Across them all

Rasps the jarring baritone of Uncle Paul;

The youngest nephew gives a fretful whine

And drools at the reception line.

Like a diver on a lofty spar of land

Atop the flight of stairs I stand.

A whirlpool leers at me,

I cast off my identity

And make the fatal plunge.

THE ANGEL by William Blake

  

I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?

And that I was a maiden Queen

Guarded by an Angel mild:

Witless woe was ne'er beguiled!

And I wept both night and day,

And he wiped my tears away;

And I wept both day and night,

And hid from him my heart's delight.

So he took his wings, and fled;

Then the morn blushed rosy red.

I dried my tears, and armed my fears

With ten-thousand shields and spears.

Soon my Angel came again;

I was armed, he came in vain;

For the time of youth was fled,

And grey hairs were on my head.

SPINSTER by Sylvia Plath

Now this particular girl

During a ceremonious April walk

With her latest suitor

Found herself, of a sudden, intolerably struck

By the birds' irregular babel

And the leaves' litter.

By this tumult afflicted, she

Observed her lover's gestures unbalance the air,

His gait stray uneven

Through a rank wilderness of fern and flower.

She judged petals in disarray,

The whole season, sloven.

How she longed for winter then!--

Scrupulously austere in its order

Of white and black

Ice and rock, each sentiment within border,

And heart's frosty discipline

Exact as a snowflake.

But here--a burgeoning

Unruly enough to pitch her five queenly wits

Into vulgar motley--

A treason not to be borne. Let idiots

Reel giddy in bedlam spring:

She withdrew neatly.

And round her house she set

Such a barricade of barb and check

Against mutinous weather

As no mere insurgent man could hope to break

With curse, fist, threat

Or love, either.

BROTHER AND SISTER by Lewis Carroll

"SISTER, sister, go to bed!

Go and rest your weary head."

Thus the prudent brother said.

"Do you want a battered hide,

Or scratches to your face applied?"

Thus his sister calm replied.

"Sister, do not raise my wrath.

I'd make you into mutton broth

As easily as kill a moth"

The sister raised her beaming eye

And looked on him indignantly

And sternly answered, "Only try!"

Off to the cook he quickly ran.

"Dear Cook, please lend a frying-pan

To me as quickly as you can."

And wherefore should I lend it you?"

"The reason, Cook, is plain to view.

I wish to make an Irish stew."

"What meat is in that stew to go?"

"My sister'll be the contents!"

"Oh"

"You'll lend the pan to me, Cook?"

"No!"

Moral: Never stew your sister.

Hope that helped.... its quite a variety of different relationships and poets xD

Answer 2

Stupid Mistake

do you just love me now and then?

are we more than friends?

do you think of me all the time?

or am i just another girl you like?

i could never read between your lines

i could never find the true you deep within

you always kept secrets from me

and when i found out

you denied them

when we broke up

i wanted to go,

yet i didn't

i missed you so much

yet i wanted to be with someone else

when you asked me to marry you

i pondered the though

what would become of this naught?

i deeply considered it but i was young and dumb

i said yes to your request

then the real came out after the wedding vows

you hurt me in so many ways, cheated and beat me almost every day, i couldn't take it anymore.

i finally asked for a devorce.

when you heard about the devorce,

your voice became horse after yelling at me

i was sitting there crying, and felt like dying

finally i ran away but reminded of that pain every day.

but it would never go away.

sorry your limit was 30 lines so i had to cut it off, and yes this was an experiance i had.
