MOVING ON - Breakup Poetry - Options

IN AUTHORS NOTES, WRITE WHICH OPTION YOU CHOSE
IN AUTHORS NOTES, WRITE WHICH OPTION YOU CHOSE
IN AUTHORS NOTES, WRITE WHICH OPTION YOU CHOSE

MAIN OPTION:
Write anything inspired from this verse

"'Cause what I thought was love was only lies
Taking what you want, left me behind
As my heart dies"

OR

"My passion, my poison
The life and death of me
I can't take you taking everything
From a love never meant to be

This is my last goodbye
Leaving all the memories of you behind
I will not wait here
And waste my whole life"
-Verses from "My Last Goodbye" by Trading Yesterday.
(use only one of the two verse sets thank you!)


ANOTHER OPTION:
Write a poem ABOUT breaking up. Don't make it over-the-top obvious and don't make it one big-ass metaphor.


STRICTLY TEENAGE OPTION:
WARNING! Don't give me a big whine about yo' boyfriend or girlfriend leaving you because some pitiful thing. AGES 16-19 appreciated, but younger can enter if they think their good enough for this contest.
Give me what you're feeling when you break up with your first boy/girlfriend, or your first love (especially if they weren't you first bf/gf, but first person you actually loved.)



Be Warned
If I'm not feeling it, I'll DQ.
If it doesn't fit, I'll DQ.
If it's lovey-dovey, cliché, about missing the freaking rainbows of love, DON'T ENTER.
Emotion. TRUE gritty, dark emotion. Please, make my heart feel something other than my own pain. I'm sick of this crap and I'm over it, so I need to be exposed to all your crap
If it's not TRUE, I don't want it.
I don't applaud entrants, sorry but it just means the prize pool is larger (aka you get more points if you win.)

Multiple entries per person.
I'll add more points when more people enter.

IN AUTHORS NOTES, WRITE WHICH OPTION YOU CHOSE

Good grammar and spelling.

Peace, Bandaid.

    Sorry about your last contest, although I thought the entries you got, though few, were rather good and followed the rules. Best of luck with this contest. I think I'll skip this one though
