& I should know, that you're no good for me.

write me a poem from the heart.
i'm very undecided about how i feel right now, so i'd really prefer poems along the line of heartbreak or being in a confusion situation. as the one i'm in. message me if you want to know what it is. otherwise, just write a poem that isn't all lovey dovey and has emotion and strong imagery & metaphors to it, but if you can write me an upbeat poem about maybe getting over somebody, i would love to read it :]

what i'm basically looking for:
[x]-emotions
[x]-over 20 lines; short poems aren't my thing, unless it's a quickie.
[x]-metaphors&imagery
[x]-free verse preferred, rhyme ONLY if you can pull it off. prose, too. whichever you like.
[x]-effort.

i'm giving away a lot of points here, so i expect some amazing poems. other than that, go for it. reserve if you want, but pleasepleasepleaseee come back and finish.
good luck
& have fun (:

    I've definitely had my share of heartbreak and confusing situations. I'll try to write something for this. I've been busy and haven't written anything lately but hopefully that will change.
    I'm here if you want to talk doll. Message me anytime.
