MSN

You wrote me love poems
They sounded so cliche
I never asked for more
But your words
Flew to me
I did not know
That I could be loved
I could not see
The poetry in me

You called me beautiful
From one picture, one smile
Thank you for the lies
We weren't ready for truth
We played a game
Of familiarity
So far away our dreams
That we created a new reality
Where you knew everything about me
And I didn't care that
It was just one conversation
Because to me and you
It was the world

I sit back and sigh
As your words unveil
A thousand things I'll never see
Helping my dreams become close
In this unreal reality
You say you know
But how can you?
So I lol,
And we're back
To this game, of guessing each others lives
I don't want it to end
Though the emoticon's waving goodbye
And the window's closed.

I'm curious as to the correlation of the title...

But there were parts of this that were rather interesting.

I liked

"I could not see
The poetry in me "

^first line could be reworded, but the second's a nice idea.

You opened the poem with a cliche--
--not recommended.

It immediately turned me off from reading it. Also, the majority of this poem seems to be fluff; pointless lines that add nothing to the poem. Some even take away from it.

Hmmm. My first point is that you have a lack of punctuation and should probably add more. I must agree with Whence on the starting with a cliche but I don't see how you could change it without adding another verse because that seems to be the very essence of that stanza. I like the idea of writing a poem about a conversation on msn and I can relate to the 'so I lol' That made me laugh actually because I've done it so many times when I haven't understood what they're saying, not believed them or just couldn't think of any way to continue the conversation. Such fragile bonds that tie us together... Anyway, it's a good attempt and the idea behind it is interesting and some of your language has the potential to be very effective like 'Thank you for the lies'

Hope I helped a little and keep writing!
