We would lay on the bed with all the candles lit
Waiting for the right moment to finally commit
We realized its not the right time, and it would come some day
So we layed there talking, learning more about you than i did yesterday
We was in the bathtub together and finally it was the right time
We knew it wasnt a mistake, and it has always stayed in my mind
We become closer and closer, while hiding it from everyone
No one knew our special place and what all we have done
I had a after-school class and seen you out the window
I tried to wave you on, i waved so you finally go
I ran down the stairs and noticed your new ride
It was a harley sitting there at the school outside
We would go to our special place talking for hours every night
I had to get home and you said meet me here the very next night
So after i got done teaching my after school classes i went down there
I wanted forever and I slept for hours and when i woke up, you still wanst here
I was heartbroken and figured you just stood me up
You got what you wanted and that was just enough
I returned home and my friend stopped me, told me that you have died
I fell to the ground, he caught me and i layed there and cried
My father is the only friend and family i had
He didnt know about him, no one did, i felt so lonely
A couple months passed by, no one knows still
Here are the things and i have know to feel
There you are growing inside me and no one even knowing
2 months into the pregnacncy and i dont want to start showing
My baby is getting bigger every minute of the day
My answer better becoming, but im not sure what to say
As i sit at the table i eat more food than what i use to
He asked if i was pregnant and i said yes quietly,i dont know what to do
Everyone expected me to get an abortion,
I need to find an answer before it gets too late
Should i kill my own baby that i helped create
I went to the abortion place, and realized i couldnt do it
The baby is the only thing left of him and i couldnt end it
I got kicked out of high school, lost everything i taught after school
The students protested and thought what he did was really cruel
He accepted me back, i graduated with my class
The women put on fake pregnant bellys, i thought it was so nice
I met my babys daddys parents and so i had my son
I gave up to them so i could go to college,
i thought it was right what i have done
I gave my baby frequent visits while i attended college
I had both my baby boy and the important knowledge
And i never forgotten about the father
We would go to our special place talking for hours every night
I had to get home and you said meet me here the very next night
So after i got done teaching my after school classes i went down there
I wanted forever and I slept for hours and when i woke up, you still wanst here

Yes, I like it
though it is hard to read, the pink on the blue background. Your poem is very long, and I do prefer a flow with poetic words, whether they rhyme or not... this sounds more like prose, thoughts put together. The feeling comes over nicely.
Good luck!
