ole saying is you can't loose what you never had
so why does the memory of you make me oh so sad
I never had you in all technicallity
maybe we both fought a true sense of reality
not really sure but it was four years ago we met
a day in the airport I could never forget
so here in 6 months or so I go back to that place
where I first set eyes on your beautiful face
weird how you can fall for someone you knew one day
and talk to them 4 years later in just the same way
but now were slipping our relationship has fadded
fadded into something that seems jaded
we say our hello's every now and then
but will it ever be the same again
were we stay up till two
talking about the that thing you do
now just a pretty face a distant memory
but somehow or another an inner part of me
I know this is something you will never read
you'll never see the tears I saw my heart bleed
I once thought that we were meant to be
but that was months ago I was blind to see
that you were intrested in you and I in me
just two people seeking self in all actuality
it's all good I shed a tear or two
but I would say it was worth you
so now if we meet again
where will we begin
will it turn our grey skies blue
or will we see we're actually through
either way a piece of my heart you take
it's up to you wheter you keep it safe or cause it again to break.

I'm not asking U 2 luv me I'm just letting out the truth no hold barred about what I feel nothing wrong with what I say

Rescue...
nice words, this was a thinking poem!
I enjoyed it, just a couple things:

Your rhyming scheme changed almost every line, and i think there were some points in your poem that you just added a word to make it rythme, you know what i mean??

We all do it, it just sometimes takes away from the piece, but oh well  

Second of all, for example, you could of made the poem flow more: Like this:
This is your first 2 lines,
ole saying is you can't loose what you never had
so why does the memory of you make me oh so sad

I would change that, leave everything, and just take out OH, cause it makes the flow of the poem uneven...

So it would flow nicer if read like this :
ole saying is you can't loose what you never had
so why does the memory of you make me so sad


just some ideas..
great piece though!!  

keep it up

This was pretty good.  Not the best I've seen from you, but the emotion was strong throughout.  I would suggest adding puntuation into the poem.  It's a structure poem with a rhyme scheme, so it might help the flow, and the reader, if you added commas, periods, questions marks.. capitalized words, things of that nature.  I would also suggest that you take Jeff's advice.  There are places where the flow is broken, and that can be changed by adding and taking out words here and there.  Nice work, though.  I enjoyed this poem.  I hope things get better for you.  Being alone isn't fun.  Thanks for sharing this with us

It was very nice.  I have seen better from you, but this was still very emotional and obviously meant a lot to you, or at least this person did.

I, personally, absolutely loved this.

"so now if we meet again
where will we begin
will it turn our grey skies blue
or will we see we're actually through
either way a piece of my heart you take

These lines were my favorite! The whole thing was really great, but these lines remind me of my current boy situation, wondering what will happen if my ex and I hang out again, and it all being up to him... Great work!

Your poem was very sad. It made me think about alot of things;emotions,memories and so on...The poem was emotionally charged. The impact was deep and profound.i congratualte you on a poem very well done.

I relate to this aswell. I enjoyed this one. You really brought out a certain part of my life. Well done here.

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