We were suppose to go on a picnic today
So why does my heart ache for you

You said that you could trust me
That meant the world to me

The other night when we talked from your window
The only stars that mattered were your eyes

Then I baked a cake for you
Not knowing how

I admit it was kind of sloppy
But I made it more with my heart then with my hands

I just wanted to make you happy
So you could hold my hand

Now I sit here
Alone

Wondering why you don't want me
Thinking of what I can do to change the situation

I'm sorry that if I put pressure on you today
The words I spoke are just what I feel

It's just this feeling inside that
Urges me to keep going

I know we'd be great together
We already are you just got to open your eyes

I'm not asking for forever
I'm asking for a day

Then maybe we'll move on to a week
Who knows you know

I know that your afraid to hurt me
and that you don't want to get hurt either

But I know that I'm willing to take that risk
Because you are just so amazing in my eyes

My heart has been broken before and
I'm still picking up pieces

But if I don't even try to be with you
Then I'll regret it for the rest of my life

Being with you for even the smallest amount of time
Is worth the heartache

I believe in you
I wish you'd believe in me

Good job on this poem, All Alone. I have never seen you in here before, so let me be the first to extend a welcome to Teen #4. I'm sure you'll find us to be friendly and wise here, as is the teen nature.
I think the layout of this poem helped the flow quite a bit. Little couplets seperated from one another... it gave each couplet a sense of unity to itself. They worked together very well.
The last two lines were especially good. You obviously sure know how to end a poem.
Once again, welcome to Teen #4. I hope to see you in here more.

Yes, welcome to Teen #4, I know you'll like it here. I really liked this poem, and the style you used is went very well with poem! Awesome job.

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.

This poem was so heart felt! I loved it! It simply touched me. Wow......this was so good! I have felt this before......it faded with time though.
The girl I felt this about gave me the day, the week, the month, the year......3yrs to be exact......and she dumped me twice. I mean.....you know she just wasn't ready for comitment. Anyhow, it was worth the pain I guess.......at least I keep telling myself that. This was a stroll down memory lane for me.....It's nice to remember how I once felt about her.
Thank you and I hope you post more.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

This piece just took me off the sugar high I was on. It's so sad.
Talk about being able to bring things up in just one moment...

It's a great piece, though. Very heartfelt.

I can't wait to read more of them, All Alone.

Such a beautiful portrayal of such sad emotions. You really have talent, and I'm glad that you've graced us with it. I hope things get better for you!

"You said that you could trust me
That meant the world to me"

Allen stole my thoughts, I love the couplets too. They do work well for this poem. I like the emotion you've placed in this poem, it's really good. Nice job

"My heart has been broken before and

"But if I don't even try to be with you

I've told a guy before. We ended up going out for about 3 months, then he went into the Army.
This is really good, you captured the emotion well. Oh by the way....

It's okay to let your heart out once in a while.  I guess you did in this piece.  Hang in there and be strong....Show this person the poem too, you never know what will happen

So long lives this, and this give life to thee." W.S.
