Yes, this is a boring love poem, yes, I don't usually write these anymore. But this one has been sitting unfinished for months and I had to complete it.

I’ve looked into your eyes and it’s still there
You’ve seen into my heart and I still care
But the feelings you’ve gone and tucked away
Are making me live my life day to day
One day I’ll see you and things are great
And next time you’ll act as if I’m too late
If I’ve missed my chance just let me go
I’m past the point of caring, I just want to know
There comes a time when you’ve had enough
I’ve held on for this long, but now it’s just too tough
If I’ve truly lost you just say goodbye
You’ll hold a place in my heart till the day I die
Just quit clutching it all if I can’t have yours in return
I’ve walked through fire for you but all I did was get burned
Got the scars to prove it, but the worst ones are inside
Yet the emotional damage is the hardest to hide
Cause I opened up to you and showed the real me
You left me in the dark, no way I could see
Now I’m searching for the light to show me the way
Cause for every dark night there’s a brighter day
Been one hell of a long night, thank God for dawn
When the morning comes I’ll soon be gone
I love you with all my heart and all my soul
But I got to live my life, regain control
I pray that one day the time is right
For our love to escape the darkness and step into the light

PS If anyone could do me a favor. I posted a piece called "Stagnant" a few days ago and wanted a little more input. Could someone else take a look and tell me what they think.

love poems aren't a bad thing and this piece isn't a bad poem, i think it's good in fact.  my only critique is that the lines all seemed to have a place where they could break a bit and if you made some of the lines into two seperate lines the piece might flow better.  just a suggestion.  anyway, keep posting your work.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

Thanks Suga_Baby. I don't think anyone should go through this. I hope everything looks up for you in this situation.

This poem was totally awsome and actually really sad. I don't know about anyone else, but I love those "boring love poems"Great job. Very well written. I'll take a look at the other poem for you, although I 'm not a very good critic...

This is really good.  Why do we always critisize our own poems harshly?    I guess that just happnes.  No matter what, I enjoyed the read and can't wait for you to share more.  Thanks for sharing

Wow I enjoyed this one sooo much!! I'm glad that you decided to finish it, and thank you for sharing.  I found this to be really sad, yet inspiring towards to end.  Great work.
