This one is pretty self explanitory...  Just something that was on my mind that I decided to write.  This is the longest poem I think I have ever written...  And unlike most of mine, it doesn't rhyme.  This has a lot of emotion in it, took me a while to be able to get over the past and get these feelings out.  I don't know if you'll notice all the emotion in this piece, but I guarantee it's there.  Let me know what you think.

IT WASN'T LOVE

He thought he fell in love
But all he did was fall
She never really wanted him
But his heart was in too deep

He finally got the confidence
To ask her to be his
She never wants to break a heart
So she decided she'd say yes

It was the best day of his life
She was the girl of his dreams
Then she finally had enough
And she left him loving her

He thought she was the one
He wasn't ready to give up
She claimed that she still liked him
But it had happened all too soon

So finally he asked her out again
She never did respond
He thought nothing of it
And their friendship slowly died

They began to talk off and on
And they got somewhat close
All of his old feelings came back
And he gave her back his heart

He told his friends about his love
And they decided they'd tell her
They asked her out for the boy
She didn't know what to say

They kept asking every day
Until finally she gave in
She went along with it for a day
Then finally told the boy

Mad he got for her taking his heart
She tore it right out of his chest
Then and there she left him there
And he didn't know what to do

He looked at the sharpened kitchen knife
Then he looked toward God and asked,
"God, if you want me to live
Why they hell did she lie to me?"

It was  lesson that he had to learn
Hearts are taken and snapped in half
Depression hits and life is hard
But suicide isn't the way out

He looked at his life and noticed
All he had and all he loved
Life wasn't as bad as he thought
He still had God and many friends

After two months and nights of tears
He talked to her once again
She appologized for all she did
And they understood their differences

The boy here, his name is Cody
Yes, this boy is me
This girl I will forever love
But now we're just good friends

      - Cody -

If someboy laughs at me, does that make me funny or just plain stupid?

This is very, very good, Cody.  I REALLY liked the message.  But it's like the old saying goes, "'Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all."  The lines in this piece that really stuck out for me were, "Depression hits and life is hard/But suicide isn't the way out".  I'm really glad you said that.  This is an awesome poem... and it doesn't matter that there was no rhyme scheme... Poetry doesnt have to rhyme, and the flow in this piece is still excellent.  Very nce work.

My favorite stanza-Ecspecially the first 2 lines.  Absolutely wonderful write here, Cody. You expressed your emotions so well. Heartbreak sucks- But I'm glad you guys could still be friends. Thanks for the read Sweetie. Keep posting.

This was good. Very emotional. Now I can see things from that POV. Unfortunatly, I've been that girl before. I just...hate saying no and hurting others. Yet, in the long run, that's much worse. I'm sorry this happened to you.

This was very good  Cody. I could read the emotion.
I do hope all works out.

If you only understood my pain then maybe you could learn to be my friend. Be there. My crying shoulder. The smiles. And the caring i need to survive.

Really nice message there Cody. I liked it a lot. An emotional piece  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Not a bad poem but perhaps slightly long, maybe its just me but I did like the rhythm and the poem itself had very strong emotions held within it!  Keep writing

I love it!! I just wish you hadn't had to go through all that pain to be able to write it. But, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? The stupid thing about "falling in love" (I'm still cynical, although not bitter) is that twenty years from now when we find "the one" for each of us, we'll look back and laugh at how retarded and foolish we were. But right now we have these very real feelings and we don't know how to deal with them all the time. I'm not worried about you, though Cody. You seem to be dealing okay with your heartbreak. Hugs.
