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?

this seems so raw and from the heart in the best sense. i think its partly the media that sets us up to think only of things and money and then we feel empty because we are measuring ourselves in thing and money and have no room for love. thanks for writing such a great poem

I compeltely feel you here. I was recently kicked out of my house. Everything I had taken awaay by my own parents. Shown no love or mercey, just thrown into the unforgiveing world with nothing ant the age of 17. There is no love for me.

This is my life in poetry form. Beautiful and hitting every point that I'm sure a ton of us feel. I love it. 100%!

I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but am not the devil. I am pretty but not beautiful. I have friends but am not the peacemaker. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.

I would have to say quite moving, it's good to know someone else longs for love. you think it would be simple, right? I really like this piece :)

I know how you feel man. Women dislike me only because I'm not cute. They pass right on by the fact that I'm faithful, loving, straight A student, and one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. They seem to only care about his looks.
