i've never written a poem before until early this morning when i couldn't sleep. i know that i'm in love with my best friend's girlfriend. he does nothing but make her cry and i do nothing but make her happy. she has told me this time and time again. last night it just really got to me and i ended up writing my first poem ever. here it is.


i wore my heart
on my sleeve.
it held on tight
when it was in need.

it went away
to my best friend.
a love i know
will never end.

now here i lay
without that heart.
the only one left
is torn apart.


tell me what you think of this.

Hey, this is your first poem, you say?
So you joined Passions in Poetry after writing your very first... that is truly fascinating. I can't wait to see the product of a poet reared here from infancy.
This piece was well done... I can see it was your first, but I by no means say that in a bad way. It just gives you a lot of room to work on, I assume you have much to learn, and learn you shall in the arms of the good people here.
Welcome to Passions. And welcome to the concept of poetry.
I can't wait to see more from you.

Welcome to Passions!
I surely hope you decide to stay here for a long time so we may be able to see you grow within the art of poetry.
I thought that this was great for your first poem. God knows that my first poem was nowhere as good as yours.
You have some beautiful thoughts here, quite sad though. The situation is a toughy.
Good luck with it!
Oh and dude, help me out here.....I promise a pal of mine to help him with his forum. You gotta go check out Teen Explorer.....ask for Walt, he's got cake!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

thank you for responding to my first poem. last evening when i was torn i didn't know what to do. as i was searching for something i came across netpoets.com and that led me to try and write a poem. writing that short poem helped me more than i ever though it would. i've never been a reader or a writer of any sorts but i like this.

thanks

Hey Brandon,

I'm a new member too and I thought that your poem was very good, it means a lot because there is true meaning behind it all.  Good luck with getting the girl, I know its tough but I'm sure she'd open her heart to you if you read this poem to her.
