maybe i shouldnt ask why
maybe it would do us good
but maybe i need to know
why you feel like you are mud

i feel like this is tearing us apart
ive felt it all along
ever since we had our first "talk" about it
that thought came into my mind with a bong

you say that it seems
it seems that i dont care
is that good or bad?
but to ask i did not dare

it could be good
you say that u wish people would leave u alone
i thought i was doing good
by not expressing my inner moans

but was it really bad
was i one of the few to whom u listened
it didnt seem like it sometimes
but was i blind to the truth that infront of me glistened?

now im not sure
whether to act like i care or not
i DO care inside
but do you need to hear that or not?

i have so many questions
so much on my mind
yet so much i dare not ask
for fear of one topic that could break our bind

right now it seems
that our love is so frail
i fear that one topic might break it
that one word might make our love de-rail

but deep down i know
i know that its stronger
that to break up we'd need
to be fighting for much longer

but please remeber this:
all im trying to do is help
thats all ive ever wanted to do
all ive ever wanted to do was love and help

im here for you
if you want to need me
no matter how you treat me
just as long as in the end youll still see me

i didnt write this in response to isabel galixzea's very good poem, more, i wrote it to my girlfriend, who really liked it
in some ways i want her to read it, but im afraid it might start a fight...
but anyway, bel, plez know that i did sorta write this after i read your poem (multiple times in fact) but i do not mean to contradict your poem and what it means
thanks for reading everbody and the nice replies that i got from all my stuff
i feel like thats been too long comming!
andas usual, i leave this poem undefended to heavy critisim (i have a feeling ill get it)
c yas around!

This poem says a lot about teenage life doesn't it? The need to fit in and be loved but at the same time the need to be ones true self and an individual. I think you should give this to your girlfriend. No offense but if you two are that weak then you're not in love, if you truly love on another no poem will break you two up. Just my unsolicited advice.

Maybe God has us meet a few wrong people so that when we meet the right one we can truly appreciate the gift.

CLB~ once again, so honest and so true. Sounds to me like you are having plenty of internal conflicts, First of all, if your relationship isn't open enough to where you can't even find out what you need to do or say or even how she feels, maybe it's not that great of a relationship. I'm not in the position to pass judgement because I have no standpoint in the relationship. But standing on the outside looking in, looks like if your "love" is this fragile, maybe it isn't in fact love at all. I think you just need to sit down and talk to her, find out what's going on show her that YOU CARE. And well, if things don't work out (which I hope they do) then maybe it just wasn't meant to be... Best of luck!!! and if U wanna talk anytime, just e-mail me!   Love Always~*~Jessica~*~

hey all, well i know this poem sounds bad, like we arent in love or something like that, thats not exactily the way it was meant to be, in the middle it was supposed to show my fears (that i fear i cant really talk to her sometimes) but i seem to have forgotten to add in that our love IS very strong and when it isnt its a temporary "bump in the road".  yes im still gonna keep the name CLBinLOVE because i am still in love.  THX FOR CARING EVERYBODY IT MEANS SOOO MUCH!!!
every time i have a problem i write a poem about it and post it here and someone always has some nice or helpful words
thx alot everybody

Writing about your problems sure is a good way of dealing with it. I wish I'd done that when I was your age.   Liked how you expressed yourself here.

you seem to know how to express yourself. which is always good and being a teenager makes it even harder but i think you should let her read it. hope it all works out for you.

I LIKED YOUR POEM EXCEPT FOR ONE PART...

"BUT DEEP DOWN I KNOW
I KNOW THAT ITS STRONGER
THAT TO BREAK UP WE'D NEED
TO BE FIGHTING FOR MUCH LONGER"

IM NOT TRYING TO CRITICIZE YOU BUT WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH BREAKING UP???? PLEASE TELL ME CAUSE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND AT ALL. ARE YOU JUST LOOKING FOR A REASON TO BREAK UP WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND??? UNLESS ITS JUST THE WAY THAT I AM LOOKING AT YOUR POEM. IT WAS GOOD THOUGH I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WOULD PUT THAT IN A POEM.


~SOMEONE ONCE SAID~IF YOU WANT SOMETHING VERY BADLY~SET IT FREE~IF IT COMES BACK TO YOU~ITS YOURS FOREVER~IF IT DOESNT~IT WAS NEVER YOURS TO BEGIN WIT

well that part was meant to mean that what was happening to us wasnt going to break us apart, that if anything could it would have to be something VERY big, if that, but oh well *shrugs* every person takes a poem a different way becuz poems draw on memories and personalities and everybody is different in that area, but enough of me preaching
thanks for the reply
