Write myself out of every love song
Because they only end in pain
Broken memories stretched thin
My voice going strain

Please don't get me wrong
I walked in this open heartiling
Luring me with a smile
And lips that kept me wondering

I was wrapped around her finger
Her eyes have a strong hold
Velvet voice oh so sweet
Singing words of gold

She had control of my strings
A puppeteer behind the wheel
Blind to all the wrongs
Everything seem to appeal

Euphonius to my ears
Always knew what to say
Live up to every command
Getting lost along the way

Write myself out of every love song
I end up losing in the end
Where right and wrong are missing
And I end up losing another friend

um...

Wasn't your best, I felt like there were a lot of forced rhymes.(just my opinion)

No, I'm not conceited, 2sexy doesn't mean "too sexy", it means something else!

Maybe you should write some non-rhyming poems or if you're still having problems with writer's block, try some freewriting, just for the fun of it. It can inspire you to write other poems, and plus its fun writing whatever just pops into your head, anyways.

I would like to see from non-rhyming poems from you as well. It would be awesome to see what you can do without the restrictions of rhyme. Plus, I hate rhyme lol

I did enjoy this beyond the forced rhyme tho. I didn't even notice the rhyme in most of it.

Well the thing about free writes is that one line will go short, the next long. The rhythm of the poem goes off and it sounds horrible. That's why I rhyme. It keeps me restricted a little.

I totally understand, Zach, trust me, I love rhyme, but the truth is no rhyme is so much better than forced rhyme.

And freewrites don't have to be good, there just there to inspire you, to help you start writing an actual poem. Freewrites can be about anything and about nothing at the same time, it could be a list of you naming a bunch of cereal brands or about fruits or whatever, freewrites are there to make you think, they're not necessarily a poem.

Yeah. But its like, I'm more of a story writer. That's what I do in poems. I can't write something totally random. It has to be something that I can describe and give imagery. I can't really write a message into my poem. Trust me I've tried. I'm just losing what talent I have in writing.

Well, I'm just losing my talent in everything. I doubt you are losing your writing talent. You probably just can't think of anything to write about.
