Did you ever love someone
But knew they didn't care ?
Did you ever feel like crying
But knew you'd get know where?
Did you ever close your eyes
and say a lttle prayer ?
Did you ever look in to their heart
and wish you were their ?
Did you ever watch them walk by
not wanting them to go
and wisper "GOD I LOVE YOU"
and ever let then know ?
You cry all night in misery
and almost go insane
Their is nothing in this world
that would cause so much pain
If I could choose between life
and death
I think I would rather die
Love is fun but it hurts
so much
The price you pay is high
And so I say to you my friend
do not fall in love
You get hurt before it is through
You see my friend
I ought to know
because I fell in love
With you !!

Did you ever post a poem
that you knew you didn't write.
Well you my friend have done it
and I don't think its right.

You shouldn't take the credit
for things you didn't do.
I read this poem in high school
and the poet wasn't you.

Lucie, I could have used you around about six months ago - when someone else suckered me into posting this same poem (uh, with better spelling) on the main Passions site.

It seems to be a very popular poem - with a whole lot of authors claiming credit for it!

And those are just the ones I know about...

Babygirl, I know the rules aren't very clear (and I'm gonna fix that), but we're really fussy around here about not posting poems that don't belong to us. In the first place, there are copyright laws (even, uh, when there are so many authors? ), and we all want to abide by them. In the second place, the poets around here work really hard to create their original work, and we kinda resent it when someone takes the easy way out.

So, consider yourself suitably chastized. Now ya know...

Um, I've read this poem several times and recieved it in email. Not good to be biting other people's work.

HEY HEY HEY!!! Wait a moment please!!!!! I have to say something.... I really did write this poem once... And I have since found that other's have written it in a similar way. Not all of them are the same, but very, very similar. Perhaps, many people have the same thoughts and feelings??? Couldn't that be??? If not, then I am the official author of this poem, because I really did write it years and years ago. However, it's much easier to believe that many other people have written this particual emotion in very similar ways!!!
