Hey guys, it's been a little while since I've posted.  I've been kinda busy, but I'll try to reply to some stuff today.  This poem is about a situation that I'm in right now that seems to keep on getting worse....

"Playing With My Heart"

I know that you are with her,
and that she means so much to you.
But if she's the one who makes you happy,
why do you do the things you do?

Every time you talk to me,
there's all those little things you say.
They seem to be hints that show
that you and I feel the same way.

Every time I see you,
I seem to drift toward your direction.
And I'm all too ready to reciprocate
to every ounce of your affection.

Yet each time our encounters end,
her name lingers on your lips.
You speak of her as if your goal
is to see my fragile heart rip.

And so I'm lost as to what you're trying to do,
When my heart's being pulled in two very different
   ways.
I wish that you could be straightforward
with all the twisted words you say.

I'm left alone on the sidelines,
wondering just where I stand.
I hear the sincere things you say,
yet I watch you holding her hand.

So now comes the time
when this game must end,
because I refuse to continue to play.
You're leaving me led on and hurt,
and it cannot go on this way.

Do you want me,
or do you want to hurt me???

     *~Fighting for your love~*
    *~Is something I cannot do~*
   *~I'm not good enough to win~*
*~And I'm not strong enough to lose~*

What a dastard, girl. I honestly think you deserve much more then a guy with seemingly no spine or decision making abilities, but love is love. On to the poem, other then some lines that stumbled a bit, for me anyway, I enjoyed the poem, especially the last 1/3 or so. Keep it up. Oh, and good luck.

Sincerely,

...*Does a double take...*
Dude, I so know how you feel...more times than once. And GOD the situation sucks for you, I'm sure. Just say "screw it" to the guy and move on...Yes, even if you just "know he likes you"...Cause if he doesn't like you enough to give you the "title" of girlfriend...Then he is slime and you aren't gonna be looking to hot if you stay with him much longer.Perhaps I should begin taking my own advice now...tehehehe.. I'd done it once before, tis not that hard after awhile...you can do it to. As for the poem, it was very well done. I enjoyed it bunches.you described the situation and the thoughts and feelings you had about it VERY well. Left me with no questions what so ever...Thanks for the read!

I think MANY people around these parts can relate with what you're saying here.
Mind games are not fun, and it's a drag that you're being played with like this.  If I were you, I would tell him for the truth.  Ask him what he wants!  It never hurts to ask, and I know you want to know what the heck is going on.
Anywho.. This is well-written!  I like the format you used, it worked well.  It's good to see you back, and I look forward to seeing more
Well done!

What a tough situation to deal with...i dunno how you do it. I think you expressed yourself well with how you feel about this particular situation. It takes a very strong person in my opinion to be subjected to things like that. Keep on writing hun
