What have we got to lose?

Honestly,I'd done this scene before and I'm so done with that act
Besides I've gotta make it to next summer with all my pieces in tact
Maturity has stiffened me to the blackened core
Childish ways have done me no good and only left me sore.

I never really loved him, it was only feelings quite inferior
Devised of sugary hopes and dreams blinded my a showy exterior
Not to say he didn't crush me into emotions I couldn't attain
Love could do so much worse and I never want to do that again.

Your eyes are trying to contemplate the issue at hand here
Well silly boy it is nothing but expectations and fear
And I know the chime of my nonsense just makes your ears ring
Please believe that falling for you will only make me lose everything.

Everything for a sweet moment sealed with passion's kiss
For Valentine's Day presents and nights of everlasting bliss
Broken promises from the one you adore and shattered trust
Sorry but I'd rather be single than have my dreams smashed to dust.

You'll whisper to me forever when you only mean a little while
Intoxicate me heavily with sparkling eyes and a pure smile
What you have in your hands now upon tomorrow will fade away
Believe, I'd be the girl to know for I see this everyday.

Hold my hand with bravado as you escort me to class
Cherish every wonderful moment with you knowing they soon will pass
Sparing days of freedom as we hug and talk in the hall
God, we've got so much to lose....

screw it, lets lose it ALL!

Author notes

Last year I could have sworn i was in love with this guy. But now I know that I wasn't it was just a crush based off of physical attraction. And now I'm kind of afraid to fall in love because every women I know has had her heart broken by a man, or women =]
I've just got so much to lose....

    Aww! This is a cute kinda mushy gushy poem. I like it. It reminds me about a teenage fairytale. Great work! Good luck in the contest!

    Wow. I like this a lot...
    Relationships are so complicated... and this really captures that. I especially love the line "Sorry, but I'd rather be single than have my dreams smashed to dust."
    the meter and rhyme is very good. Great job.
