My Life
By:  Emily Williams

My life before you
Yes I had one.
Before you life was simple
Before you I had a list of three things that I would never put up with in a relationship: one cheating, two lying, and three insults to my intelligence, beauty, or integrity.
Before you I didn't believe in love
Before you love never had me included in it
Before you love was something everyone else got them selves into and would do anything and everything to prevent myself from falling into that trap.
Before you I avoided love like the Plague.
Before you my life was complete.

My life while you're in it.
Yes I have one.
While you're in my life, life is not simple, and as long as we are together it will not be.
While we are together I trusted you for seven days away.  In these seven days you: one cheated, two lied, and three insulted my intelligence, beauty, and integrity.
While we are together I fell in love.
While we were together love finally included me in it.
While we are together love was something I got my self into and regret it almost every Day.  If I didn't love you so much I would never hurt this much.
While we were together I felt the need to run no more, love found me no matter how well I hid.
While we were together my life was complete.

My life after you
Yes I have one.
After you life was simple again.
After you I had a list of three things that I would never put up with in a relationship: one cheating, two lying, and three insults to my intelligence, beauty, or integrity.
After you I didn't believe in love
After you love never had me included in it
After you love was something everyone else got them selves into and would do anything and everything to prevent myself from falling into that trap.
After you I avoided love like the Plague.
After you my life was complete.

That is very interesting how you set that up, I like it. But I think if you have faith in love it will come around for you, great poem, and welcome to passions.

Welcome to Passion!!!

Nice style chica, ya love feels like a trap every once and again. But so's life and anything else worth it...called it the greatest irony.  So maybe love is a nasty at this time, but teens are easily confused (myself very included).  So at least you found a great place to vent...Welcome again.
