The Cassandra Complex
It’s getting light outside
 And the cold stops this shivering sight
 The lines on your face
 They glisten and they crystallize
 Heathens, they cry
 I whisper only too, God why?
 And you’ll just sit there and die
 Because now they’ve got you inside
 And they’ll continue to lie
 Because you have already died!
 
 And the more that we try,
 These knots that we tie are too tight
 The more that we lie,
 The bonds that we bind break at night
 And if we don’t pry
 The s*** that we see will not fright
 
 It’s getting dark outside
 And the warmth retreats to the night
 The lines on your face
 They’ve deepened and they’ve crystallized
 Heathens, you cry
 Why did you take away my light?
 And you’ll realize you’ve died
 And, no nothing will be alright
 But heaven won’t cry
 Because we’re truly alone this night!
 
 And the more that we try,
 These knots that we tie are too tight
 The more that we lie,
 The bonds that we bind break at night
 And if we don’t pry
 The s*** that we see will not fright
 When the sex has gone dry
 There’s nothing left but to fight
 And the more we are right
 The more we’re alone at night

And don't think just because you've never been in a relationship before that you can't convey the feelings you may have for someone in a poem. A lot of people, including me, write about relationships and haven't been in one.
