This is one of the first poems I ever wrote.  It may not be that good, but It does express the thoughts I had at that moment.  It's a glimps into the cavernous pit which is my mind and the open wound that was my heart....
************************

If only she knew,
what he put himself through.
If only she had heard his lips,
as they uttered those words and mouthed a kiss.

If only she could see,
the love that they could be.
If only she could feel,
his love which is so real.

In his soul he is barely braving the storm,
he needs a companion to keep him warm.
A guide some would say to light the way,
to lead him to yet another day.

If only she could see,
the love that they could be.
If only she could feel,
his love which is so real.

Love will come and love will go, but friends are forever (usually).

Pretty damn good for a first-ever poem. I liked the reptition of that one stanza. Nice read here. Showed your thoughts well.

You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

I wonder how long ago you wrote this? Pretty good.  Did you ever give this to anybody? Sometimes, it can be effective. Good job by the way

Awwww, Guys.  You know, it this keeps up I might actualy start thinking I can write.  Who knows, I may be on to something......
Nope, I didn't give it to anyone, I should have, but I wrote a dopey love letter instead, don't ask.  That advice, fozzyozzy, came a little to late.

I liked that stanza.  The repitition you used in this piece was well done, I thought.  Nicely done... VERY good for a first poem.  Impressive.. Oh, and you ARE on to something.. You're a talented writer!     Well done.  I enjoyed this one.
