Tears

As I sit alone listening to sad songs
I try to figure out all of my wrongs
A drop of tear slides down my cheek
But crying just shows that I'm so weak

I must continue to stand strong
I'll write my own heartbroken song
I'll sing the words of my heart
You and I can't be too far apart

How'd our story come to this end?
It was just starting to extend
And it was so sudden and unexpected
My soul crushed as I was rejected

If only I could rewrite our romance
If only you'd give me just one chance
If only you'd see me for who I am
You'd understand I'm not one of them

I'll still hold on to you for awhile
To prove that I might be worthwhile
I'm not as shallow as they were
I've got nothing to do with her

My heart refuses to let you go
I love you too much, you should know
You tell me that you like me too
But I wonder if it's really true

We're strangers now, nothing more
Leaving my heart hollow and sore
Deprived of the love I have given out
That I shall have to live without

The sun and moon rise and fall
And I throw my empty heart at the wall
Tears stream past my barricade
Because my love for you will not fade.

I wrote this about a boy I like who's afraid to love me back. He was hurt badly after his first date and he thinks that I'll hurt him too. If only he'd give me a chance..

Aww. Carrie, this is such a truthful and emotional poem.

I wish I could write like you, but sadly, I can't. HAHAHA

Whoever this guy is I hope he realizes what he's missing out on. ^_^

WOw xD

hmmm wat to say besides epic win because you know im gunna say that. uh i think it was very strong but i personaly feel the begining was kinda forced, by that i mean there should have been less explanation and a little more expression. But thats just my opinion. KEEP UP THE AWESOMESS : D

This is like a title fight: Wild and exciting with many comboes, and a thrilling finish. While reading it, I just couldn't resist going "Oooh!" and "Aaah!" Awesome. Work of art.
