You thought you knew me

Read it, like it, love it, hate it, I don't care. The person I am underneathe.

I tried to tell you before, you really don't know me.

I planned on telling you who I really am.

I always said "next time".

But when next time came around I always fell back on those fateful words, "next time".

I love you, you know that.

But I can't tell you who I really am.

You won't like me the same way.

I'm afraid to tell you, what if you don't like me?

I don't want the present to end.

The love you have given me is what I live for.

I write, I play, I plan, I wish, I dream, but when my dreams become reality, you are always there.

I haven't spoken to you in a while, I suppose because I can't.

I want you to know that I love you.

 

My heart was broken into pieces when you found me and picked me up.

You put me back together again, filling in the missing pieces.

I love you, and I owe you one.

I should tell you who I really am.

I'm not perfect, nor am I pretty.

I have little hope because the world has been so cruel to me.

I guess I couldn't tell you, because everytime that I tried, I cried.

I love you, and I think you should know who I really am.

 

I'm outspoken, and shy.

I try to reach for the sky.

I'm imaginative, and conventional.

I try not to be irrational.

 

I love you, and I'm sad to say, that I must leave you.

I don't hate you, even though you may think I do.

The spark has finally died.

I have never lied,

so I won't start to now,

I love you, ciao.

Hope the grammar isn't too bad... I suck at rhyming...

Very nice! It came across smooth like a pondering idea that drifted in off a ocean breeze. I enjoyed this more then most as, it wasn't a rant. It was mearly thoughts placed and whirled around on a page till the right answer finally came out in ink.

The hardest choice in life; When is it the right time to move on.
The hardest thing in life; Expressing onself to one they think won't understand.

I love how you used ciao at the end, It really gave the piece a bit more personality then it began with. This poem is simple, yet it gets several ideas across. Nice work.

If you love someone, set them free, isn't that what they say??

Rhyming isn't everything either. And the grammar isn't too bad. lol. this coming from the person who slept threw English class : ) Seriously though, I really rather enjoyed this. Actually have written something pretty similar in context, but sadly, it no longer exists (always save your work on your computer, kids!!)

to have to love someone and then leave them is hard. i can't say i've ever gone through anything like that. but the poem is very emotional and sad, and i like it. thanks for reviewing my poem. i would really like to read a lot more of your writing. thanks again.

That was amazingly good, really well done. Apart from the extra "n" in "broken".
Still, very awesome poem. Powerful stuff.

Ok, man that's deep.

Very nice, deep meaning, more a story with rythem. It reminds me of my poem (I am the Darkness,) It is based on the idea that Darkness is only nothing, and I wouldn't want someone to get hurt trying to find something thats not in there. Your piece is awsome, I tend to like works that are comparable. Keep it up.
