How i Wish

this is a poem thats spoken by to people. there both in love with each other even though they dont know it.

I'm in love with this guy,

but this guy, you see,

isn't in love with me.

truth is, he already has someone

to adore and to hold.

and that someone, will never be me.

I love this girl,

but this girl, you see

doesn't love me.

i know it's wrong,

to lead the other one on,

but i'm afraid to tell her she's just a pawn.

His girl is pretty

with soft golden hair

and eyes that are fair.

I'll never be as strong as she 

to go get the man

who was meant to be.

She's so beautiful

with long auburn hair.

When she talks i get weak

when she laughs i cant speak.

oh how i wish

i could tell her the truth.

we sit in class; side by side

but he cant see 

the longing look in my eye.

i think to myself as i doodle 

small hearts and a circle

that has no name in the middle:

"why cant he just see?"

i feel so lost,

don't know what to do.

i'm afraid she wont love me

as to her, i so dearly do.

guess i'll just wait 

hoping she'll take the bait.

i don't like this feeling

of tangled confusion.

i need him so, but he loves her;

it'll never be me.

Oh how i wish 

i could tell him the truth.

I love this poem... i got confused a couple of times but when i reread it, it made more sense. Keep up the good work:)

Loved it. I like the two different points of view and how they don't believe the other likes them. Lovely.

Relationships are too hard and confusing.

I love the way this is formatted, it adds a lot of depth to the poem. Also, it has a nice rhythm to it. Good descriptions and it packs a lot of emotion into a few stanzas...I love it! (:
