You keep insisting to say what’s on my mind
And you keep saying that it’ll be fine
But you don’t know me
And how I can be
After I say what I have to say
I note something in your eyes
You say it’s not true at all
Yet I know the reason why
You almost cry.
A twinkle is in you face
Not the happy kind
You say you always look like this
But I know that you lie
A wave of shame comes over me
And I feel like I wanna die
I don’t know what else to do
So I apologize
That night I had a nightmare
That you felt very mad
You weren’t very proud of
The attitude I had
So you avoided me every time
And hooked up with my friend
Wrote me a note to help me know
That this would be the end
I woke filled with lifelong fear
Of the day that lay ahead
I felt so horribly sad
Of acting like I had.
But once I finally arrived
To school and saw your face
I tried and tried and almost cried
But I just couldn’t say…
How I felt about you.

Wow, such strong emotions. I'm sorry that this happened to you. Love can be so painful, but when you're with the right person it's the best feeling in the world. Brilliant poem, I really loved the last line. It is so hard to be brave and say the words you mean to say, but I've learned that if you don't say them, then you regret later on.

I guess i never really thought that one through properly....I say that to close friends who are angry...If you need to let it out, take it out on me...I expect it to hurt...but I havn't really thought about how much. (Not that I would let it show) And I don't know. Because no one really ever has. Your poem made me think....
I really like it so I hope you keep writing...
= ) XoXoXo...
