When she came into my life
I was filled with glee
All I feared
was that she would not like me
When I spoke, she listened
and smiled once or twice
My fears were lifted
for she was truly nice

I wanted her to like me more
as I liked her
I feared that she would not
and that upon my heart she would commit murder
She failed to return my affection
And my fear was realized
For sticking my neck out
I was penalized

Now my fear is growing
feeding off my mistake
I have dreams of loss and sorrow
and it feels as if my soul was raped
I sit alone and wonder
if I will make it through the night
Now it is only myself that I fear
can I continue this horrible fight?

Yeesh...go away for a few days and come back to find all this lovely poetry to read, which will make excellent use of my time and inspire me all the more.  I loved the poem, it hit close to home.  Lovely.

Thank you for the kind words. This is what I consider my best poem so far. I wrote it a few days after the girl in question refused to go out with me and the shaky friendship I had with her collapsed. We went from being friendly with each other to not speaking or even having eye contact. At the time I wrote this I was in a near suicidal depression, which luckily subsided quickly, partly due to my best friend from 10 years ago coming down to visit.

I write only from personal experiences and feelings. I also find that I cannot write poetry when I am happy, I need something thats gnawing away at me to express in poetry.
