Hi! I'm new to the forum! Everyone here seems nice and talented,so I'm going to share one of my poems with you, and I hope you will tell me what you think!


I'm in love with a guy who has a girlfriend. My friend just broke up with her boyfriend, so I wrote this to tell her how I feel.


You sit and cry over love lost
And you still hold your ground
But someday you will realize the truth
And be glad of the love you found


It must be awful to lose a love
But I think of one thing, more and more
What is worse, losing true love
Or having never possessed it before?


You have had your true love
And known his touch
While I sat alone
And missed so much


You have danced with your love
And he gave you a twirl
While I saw my true love
Doing the same with another girl


You have held your love close
And he gave you a kiss
And I knew that I would never
Find love like this


So, when you sit and cry
Over the love you lost
Sob, mourn, and pout
Over love’s high cost


Be happy that you had love before
And remember what I’ve missed
I’ll never hold my love close
And he’ll never slip me a kiss


Remember your friend that has never been loved
Remember as you see her stare
At her true love with another girl
And know he'll never care


Remember her when you know
How hard that she has cried
Because she knows her true love
Will never be by her side


So, when you think of love lost
Think of me, and recall
“It’s better to have loved and lost
Than to have never loved at all”

Wow... this was great.  The feelings are so apparent and there.  I like it. I'm sorry you have to go threw with what is happening.  But, just to let you know....  I stand in the mist of your perspective.  It is worst to not have true love then to to have it and lose it. Good work ... and nice for your first post.

I like this!  I'm in the same position, and so it struck close to home.  Lovely.

Wow, what a powerful poem. It was very sad though. I'm a little upset, though, u stole my quote and put it at the end of your poem-"It's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all."

nicnac, I wrote this poem before I came here, and posted it on my first day as a member, so I didn't know it was "your" quote.

I found this poem to be very sad... truly it must not be easy for you, being in such a situation.  However it might be wise to make sure that your friend realizes you still have sympathy for her as well, even if she's in a better situation than her.     
Still, keep your head high, alright?  Maybe someday if you keep on smiling, you'll meet a guy (or four ) who treats you right.  
Welcome to Passions in Poetry!  Eventually, if you spend enough time with us, you'll find yourself really improving your skill.  I can't wait to see you in here more!
