Each and every time I run into you
I always wonder why and who.
Thought that when you looked at me
I was the only one you could see.
Your lies were so obvious to others.
Yet I couldn’t see how you were another’s.
I wouldn’t believe what they said
And I continued to see those lies instead.
The hugs you gave, were not mine
And I wasn’t the one that made you shine.
The coldness that lingered after your touch
Stilled my heart and hurt too much.
My nights were filled with restless sleep
And the one I wanted only made me weep.
So one night I made a vow to myself
That I would put you on a forgotten shelf.

I really like this, can definitely relate to it, it hurts to be that person i know too well. Third stanza was my favourite, i loved that one
Thanks so much for entering and best of luck in the contest x -
Not bad
It's not bad...it's not the best you've done but for your first attempt at really rhyming it's good. In the future don't try to force it...you can also use approximate rhyme, or just make it so that not all of the stanzas rhyme. But it was pretty good, it conveyed your feelings and your meaning. Good job.
