this is my first poem and i just wanna know what you think.


I won't hurt you,
at least i won't try.
I won't break your heart,
at least I won't try.
I won't play hard to get,
at least I won't try.
I won't make you cry,
at least I won't try.
I'll just try to love you.
That I'll try.

i'd give eternity to be by your side-goo goo dolls/City of Angels soundtrack

Nice job!  I do think that you could improve the poem by cutting down a bit on the repitition, maybe make it every third line instead of every second line... like

"I won't hurt you,
I won't break your heart,
at least I won't try.
I won't play hard to get,
I won't make you cry,
at least I won't try.
I'll just try to love you.
That I'll try."

Get what I'm saying?  Just a point of advice, the poem's idea is simple and a good one, I really do like it.     But you have that critique flag up, so expect a few people giving you advice on ways to improve your poetry!
Welcome to Passions.

I liked it, but I agree with Allan that you might cut the repitition down some. But anyway, Welcome To Passions!
