So I DO NOT write poetry at all. But I just jotted this down out of boredom. Again, I AM NOT in any way a poet, so please be nice! lol So with that said, what do you think? It's about my w***e ex.

So bright your youth shone

The December day you stole my heart away

I was broken, off my throne

Never had my heart felt such a sway

I waited and rejected your advances

But never I would know

All this time I was using up my chances

As my feeling began to grow

But then I realized

Others could steal you away so fast

Without knowledge, attempts, completely unrealized

My heart's chance had passed

Flirtations turned bitter

We were aggressive, unaware, and shameless

It was love. It was hate. Salt tears had glitter.

Yet you were aimless, blameless. I was in your book nameless.

You went too far

Womanizing hurt more than you would ever know

In my empty heart, there is a scar

You definitely put on a show

Summer went by, I missed you

June was lonesome and filled with betrayal

I was a wreck, you were dancing through

Never would I show you this portrayal

July was when it occurred

You came up to me, as if we were so close

It was funny how your smile made the past blur

My pain began to melt. Laughter replaced the woes.

I forgave you.

But you wanted more

You asked for myself but not for my love

I was blinded and showed you the door

Your requests, undreamed of

You wouldn't give up, you said it was love

I almost gave in

But push came to shove

My world began to spin

You were caught

And you apologized

I forgave but never forgot

I felt so uncivilized

We agreed to start over, running from a lie

Now 8 months since December, you still have my heart

We hide what happened that July

My love, why won't you depart?

I talk to you, we're still hunter and pray

Caught you glancing at me

We know things shouldn't be this way

Going back and forth, we're supposed to be free

  1. um... wow you have a natural talent or something.  While sometimes rhyming can be bad, you did it extremely well.  If you took a class or two you could be extremely good.  Are you SURE this is your first time?  Write more poetry and get it published!


  2. Its good. i love your way of expression but you seem to put your words in thew wrong order but you're still pretty good. GOOD LUCK! ( in poetry)


  3. somehow im not convinced that was your first time writing poetry. especially since i am a writer myself. my first poems were quite a mess. i think that you dont give yourself enough credit. its no bad at all although the rhythm is a bit messed up in certain areas, its pretty good. =] nice emotion.
