The 20th century Romeo & Juliet
My heart has belonged to him since the first time we met
He said he loves me, I said I love him to
Now we're torn apart, and there's nothing I can do
I cry myself to sleep each night
Wishing he was there to hold me tight
I think this love must be fate
But 7 months is a long time to wait
I don't think I can wait that long
What did I do that was so wrong?
I understand why my mom was so mad
But I think she's happy when she sees me so sad
Sometimes I just want to run away
Just to be with him for one more day
I know if I talk to him he could go to jail
But life without him is a living hell
My heart has been broken, yet again
This seems to happen every time I let someone in
It's not his fault, I know
I just don't want to let this love go
Will he forget about me?
I don't know, I'll wait and see
I could never forget about him, my love for him is real
And in 7 months, I'll love him still.
Author notes
The guy I am in love with is 19...my mom found out that I had sex with him, if I talk to him again she is going to file statuatory rape charges on him...So I have to wait 7 months, until I turn 17 to talk to him...thats a long time...I don't know what to do.

I rally love this poem, I am in a stage of complete heartbreak and this makes me feel your pain as well, keep going and you'll feel better in 7 months. -

in the same situation... it sucked things will get better tho
it may seem like a long time but at least its not forever... -
Hey, i really like your poem, honestly i do.

Very wonderfully written piece filled with your deep yearning and love. Great rhytem and rhyme. I hope things work out for you sweetie, remember although seven months seems like a lifetime when you are young, it is not, it will flow quickly, although I would check out the laws, go on line and find it for your state what the particular age is for your area, I do believe that 16 is the pretty much standarized legal age for consentual sex, but if you do have to wait, try to fill the time with something of interest, just to make it flow more quickly as time drags when you dwell on something! take care

I hope you don't kill yourself as Romeo and Juliet did! And remember, Shakespeare wrote: "Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds or bends with the remover to remove!" I think your mother will kill me if she reads this.

I enjoyed this...it's very sweet.....You're in love? at such a young age....But I beleive that the title most likely fits this love and this poem... I love it...! Great job and keep it up.

I really liked this. The situation does suck. I can sort of sympathize- I love a wonderful guy who is half way across the world for another year.. but at least I can talk to him. Although it may seem like it, 7 months isn't forever. He'll still be there if it's love. And in the off chance he's not still there, it may be easier. I'm sure he'll be there waiting for you though. Again, great poem. I love the rhyming and the rhythm- phenomenal! The best of luck to you. Keep on writing!

you're in love at such a young age. are you sure these are the right feelings? well, u id call it romeo and juliet... the were inlove at like... what.... 14? 16?
i like what you did here. nice idea for a poem. Yet, i think the rhyme is not the best. you use simple words to make ths poem work...and that's what makes the poem just a little weak. a different vocab might be nicer. i have this thing, about rhyme, i think that one should only do it IF they can use "expensive words" but that's just my opinon. obviously other ppl like it, maybe it's just me and my silly ways.
best wishes to you and this person. If it is true love, you two can safely live through those 7 months

That's pretty terrible. I'm sorry for your current situation.
I really hope everything works out for you. Keep your head up.

this is a good write. I like it a lot. I am soo happy now for you that you have found someone and your happy when you get to see him or be with him. It sucks that you can't be with him as much. But in texas there is a limit...since your 16 and he is 19 that isn't illegal. But i hope everything works out for you. I am always here for you if you need to talk. Love ya like a sister.
