Need Love?
See it but never feel it.
Get close, only to push it away.
“Don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone”
Epitome of my life.
What is wrong with me?
What makes me so un-lovable?
Can someone remove this defective sign from my forehead,
And replace it with a kiss.
I want more than mediocre.
I want someone to miss.
Do I ask for too much?
Are my requirements unachievable?
My heart remains unconquered, unattained.
I’m tired of fairy tale endings,
Silly thoughts put in my head by unrealistic, but hopelessly believable movies.
They are all the same.
Girl meets boy. Girl messes it up. Boy forgives girl.
Happily Ever After.
At least they let on that relationships have problems.
I want raw, unrelenting love.
The real deal.
No movie, novel, or episode of “Sex and the City” could ever touch.
Left alone, drowning in thoughts,
Who else in the world could need love,
Like I need love?

Hahaha, I do not worry about it. People can think what they want, it no longer bothers me.
And I don't think someone would go out of their way to overly comment my work... I think it just effects people in the same ways... And they read others' comments, then write similarly.
A true reflection of the heart of a teenage girl. A truely beautiful and truely relatable piece. 5 Stars.

i agree with LuverBoiNPain: it totally expresses a natural human feeling. i mean, eveyone has their personal fanasies about love, and this poem tells you about the love fantasy of someone who sees themself as so unlovable that they think they will never achieve love. it really brings you down to earth on the subject of romance, with all of its fairy-tale endings and Happily-Ever-After.

great job and keep writing!

The key to happiness is always looking down the path of goodness. -Teresa S. Livi
Don't Cry Over Someone That Won't Cry Over You
No Guy Is Worth Your Tears & When You Find The One That Is He Won't Make You Cry
If You Really Love Something Set It Free.
If It Comes Back It's Yours, If Not It Wasn't Meant To Be
Some Day You'll Cry For Me Like I Cried For You,
Some Day You'll Miss Me Like I Missed You,
Some Day You'll Need Me Like I Needed You,
Some Day You'll Love Me But I Won't Love You
Time will make you forget me but time will make me love you more than before.
If I never met you, I wouldn't like you. If I didn't like you I wouldn't love you.
If I didn't love you I wouldn't miss you, but I did, I do and I will.
My heart longs for you, my soul dies for you,
my eyes cry for you, my empty arms reach out for you.
Forget who hurt you yesterday,
But don't forget who loves you tenderly today.
Love can make you happy but often times it hurts,
but love is only special when you give it to who its worth.
Boyfriends come and go, but friends are forever.
The hardest part of loving someone is knowing when to let go,
and knowing when to say goodbye.
No pleassure, no expressions just an illusion of what should of but wasnt.
I hate you for not letting me have you.
Forget the times he walked by, Forget the times he made you cry,
Forget the times he spoke your name, Remember now your not the same.
Forget the times he held your hand, Forget the sweet things if you can,
Forget the times & Don't pretend, Remember now he's just your friend.
The day you finally decide to love me will be the day
after the day I have given up on chasing you
I hate to see the one I love happy with somebody
but I surely hate it more to see the one I love unhappy with me...
I had a dream and it was about you ...
I smiled and recalled the memories we had ...
then I noticed a tear fell from my eyes ... you know why?
Coz in my dream you kissed me and said goodbye ...
