No, there wasn't supposed to be any rhyme, it just sort of ended up fitting that way in some parts and I haven't changed it because all the other words I try to put in don't sound right.

I don't want the phone to ring again,
I don't want to hear you knocking on my door,
No more notes taped to my desk,
I just can't take them anymore. - Clever rhyming scheme.

The sweet words conceal the madness,
The suffocating watch, - Nice line
I'm drowning in your glare,
And can't seem to get away. - No rhyming?

Each time I turn
There you are,
Staring back at me,
Silence has replaced the joyful chatter,
But you won't let go, and I can't struggle free. - More rhyming.. :)

This isn't love.
Can't you see?
You and me,
We just weren't ment to be! - YEAH LOSER. Leave her alone. Bastard...

Like the first slice of cake,
I want the unbroken surface back,
The innocence of that first, sweet kiss. Aww.


I liked it. The rhyming was a little confusing, but it sort of doesn't matter that much. The poem overall was great, and nicely worded. You're a great poet.
Got YWS?



A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses.
