I never wanted a broken heart
But now what can I do?
I never wanted all your lies
I only wanted you!

I never wanted to feel like this
But now I've come un-glued
I never wanted this to happen
I only wanted you!

I never wanted to cry this much
I need to get a clue
I never wanted to believe it
I only wanted you!

I never wanted to make you sad
I wish I would have knew
I never wanted things to end
I only wanted you!

I never wanted you to leave
But for us to make it though
I never wanted to be let down
I only wanted you!

**There is no such thing as a promise!!**

This was okay...but I think that using too many exclamation points end up making the poem sound forced and changes the tone. It seems like it's meant to be sad, but it feels the opposite.

I don't want to be cruel... let me start off by saying that.  The poem was ok.  I didn't like all of the repeating.  I think it kind of took away from the meaning of the poem. Ok, I did like parts of it too.  I liked that you were expressing how much you loved this person.  I also liked that people can relate to the meaning of the poem.  Keep writing.

I agree that it was okay, I would take out the exclaimation points and just a suggestion but whenever I have a point that I really want to get across I either reword it differently from stanza to stanze or I open and close the poem with it, but that's just me, nice work

I love this poem! It reminds me how I truely feel at this moment in time...This too happened to me, and Im just sorry that you had to go through something like this. Its the confusion with those 'special' ones who capture your heart and break down ypur barrier walls that seem so much more then a pretty face. *hugs* Hang in there, it happens to everyone. Some people just deny it though, because it makes them feel they're nothing...heh, Im going over board, juss hang in there and feel better. and if yu ever want someone to talk to my email is:
