*~*Rules of my Love*~*


These words I say,
come straight from my heart.
As I inform you,
right from the start.

Dont play with my head,
and make me think you care.
Cause if you dont want to be with me,
then walk away, dont stay here.

Dont cheat on me,
if you want to keep my heart.
Cause boy it will be over,
just as quick as it did start.

Unless you are out to hurt me,
and see tears fill up in my eyes.
Then always tell me the truth,
never any lies.

I just want to,
make all this clear.
You are the one I love,
and I want you to be aware.

Hiya Erin!
    GREAT poem! I mean really...I like seeing people (especially girls) who know what they want and won't accept less. Keep'em comin'.

I love it! But if you don't want to scare all the boys off, call these your 'expectations'.   Rock on!

Dark Enchantress~~~you know that there are some girls out there that do care if there boyfriends cheat or lie...you know what i mean???

Lakewalker~~~even if you think they should be followed they arent...

LyricFetish~~~what would the guys be afraid of...a girl who knows what she wants and puts her foot down??? if they get scared off oh well their loss not mine!!!LOL

Alwye~~~right from the start they will know...if they dont like it, its not my fault i just dont want to get hurt in the end...if they cant follow the rules then they could keep walking!!!

Thanks all of yous for the replies!!!!

Great writing.....just don't expect much from other people though cause they might not be able to reach your standards....I saw this quote saying "Love is not searching for someone perfect, but finding someone's imperfections perfect."

wuz up my homegirl. very nice poem. Although, I've always found that the rules of a given relationship change from time to time. The rules you started out with are never the the ones you end up with. I could definately live with these rules.

Nice poem. Good work. Second day of school and I am scaring myself. I think I actually like algebra. Somebody save me! Please! Anyhow, nice poem. I like it. It sounds like something I wrote once. I really like it. And I have lost complete control of my mind.

Hey hun, It's been a while, I've been dropping in sparatically for short periods of time...but other than that I must say I have been slacking quite a bit...please accept my apologies!   at any cost, this is something EVERY guy needs to receive from girls! Too bad they all think they can treat us wonderful girls badly and lie and cheat and break our hearts at no expense.Oh well, you will find the roght one...and hopefuly I will too. LoL keep your head up! This poem was great!! Love Always~*~Jess Girl~*~

Hey chick....sorry I don't get on all that much and if I fall behind on all yall's poetry...I really like the attitude behind this one.  It shows alot of confidence and assertiveness (I think that's how you spell that one..not sure).  Keep um' flowin and I'll try to keep up..luv ya bunches..later.
