I don't want to answer the phone If it's you on the other end Since we went different ways You can't settle for being friends I won't eat steak It is one of your fav meals Actually I haven't been hungry Food doesn't appeal Don't want to open my photo album And be forced to see your smiling face I won't burn it or rip it For some memories can't be replaced Everytime I see a hummer roll by I remember you saying it was your dream ride You know I love flavored coffee Not only did I lose u, I lost me Don't want to step foot in the arcade Knowing every game in there you've played I'm sorry I'm not the girl you want me to be Neither one of us are ready to change |

No one should ever expect another person to change. Well done, Joanna. God bless America, my home sweet home. |

*sigh* it is amazing how we give a part of ourselves each time we love. I wonder if that means we run out of love or just grow more as we begin to understand it better. This is a very emotional poem that I can relate very well to.  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Rosepetal, Elizabeth said pretty much what I was gonna say. Love isn't about changing the other person, it's about accepting them for them.. flaws and all. Wonderful write.. I too can relate. Hugs, Tara |

RP....excellente.....you penned this loss so well. His loss might I add. Too bad. Courage and perserverance....You shall remain strong and overcome...just be you and you will do just fine. he could not have been right if he cannot accept you as yourself. It is hard enough to just be me, so how can I ever be two so different from me? |

Joanna girl this poem was one of your best. It just put images of what a breakup goes through into my head. Keep up the great writing. Do or die! |

Good job of expressing feelings. you showed the hurt without bitterness. It is hard sometimes expressing hurt without showing bitterness. Dan Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |

Yes if the other person is right you will know it in your heart and you don't need anyone to try to convince you or change you...also if they are wrong it doesn't take too long to figure it out...James |
