Hey, like i said in my last work i only just joined a week ago. This poem was my first when my first girlfriend broke up with me (went out with her again) and for the record i was (and am) in love with her. Anyway here it is. Hope you like it

It was like any other day
Life was good for him
No problems with friends
His girlfriend was fine
But acting strange

He was being his usual self
Trying to comfort her
But there was something in her eyes
Like she was fighting a raging battle with herself

When lunch came
He asked what was wrong
She asked if he wanted to know now or after school
He told her now

As soon as those words escaped her lips
He was thrown into a dark icy sea
Unable to breathe

She stared at him watching his reaction
Praying that she didn't kill him
But she knew that her words "just friends"
Would burn into his heart

He was in a surreal state
Not believing what had just happened
Five months had just ended with her
He muttered to his friend to follow him
And then the worst hit him

He came out of his comma
Relatity floating back to the surface

It was like a dagger had peirced his chest
Ripping out his heart

He asked his friend to grab another friend
And her expression was like his

Shocked and baffled

She hugged him harder than ever
Trying to take the pain away
But it was too late
He had already been torn to hell

He went through the afternoon
With an expressionless face
Trying to continue on
But it was too much

During the last period he lost it

He was with her best friend
And she witnessed his tears

He tried all he could to stop
But the tears kept coming

After school he saw her
But he had to turn away
The agony was too great

That night he went to bed early
Hopping that it would just end
As if it were all a dream

Wishing that the torture
Would wash away with the tears on his pillow

That day everything changed for him
He had now experienced the pain of love

Then he remembered
The thing that would get him through it all

And at that moment he thanked god for friends

Three months later he was talking to her
And he was given the change he had been praying for

She said she wanted another chance
He agreed and they went out again

But like the past something went wrong
At the dance he was regected
Not once
Not twice
But three times

He was crushed the hell once again
Only to find out that she went with someone else

He somehow found it in his heart to forgive her

They went out for another month
His life was wonderful again
He was living in bliss
It seemed like it would last forever

Little did he know
That that dagger would return
To haunt him
To plung into his chest
One more time

Note: Just reading this over again, i dont know how great it is but hey im self critical.

nice work i will be looking foward to further poems from you
may i make one suggestion though this is just an opinion of me as a reader but i find it weird to read in the third person to me it just seems not to flow but i may not be as experienced as others in poetry but i still loved it
