**I found this, changed the ending, and added some lines, so if I could give you a knife to stab at it I would. Have fun :P

Everyone knows, the classic line,
"There’s no getting over you, I’ve tried."
Well this is my truth and this is my pain,
this is my pen starting over again

I don’t want to hold your hand.
I just want you to understand,
I’m not gunna plan for the movie endings.
I refuse to write on the positive side,
I’m about honesty, and loves not for me to decide.

I’ve heard it all before, I’m guilty of it to.
I’m not playing this game, but you refuse to hear it.
I’m walking away, but you refuse to see it,
so ill write my future and force you to read it

I want you to chase after my feet,
and I want to feel your heart skip a beat.
Let me hear those eyes scream out to me,
as I walk into a room.
I don’t want to hear those songs come true,
I just want a simple, "I love you".

I’m not exactly patient, so let me be brief,
all of these decisions are killing me.
I’ve stated my wants and ill just say one more,
"I want you to want me"
Stated best by the eighties top hits.

After all this,
and once everything’s been said and done,
I’ll be honest.
Seeing as how I’ve never lied to you and I won’t start now.
In the light of day,
I truly believe there wasn’t any other way.
This is what I chose to write,
Hate it if you need to, burn it, if that’s what pleases you.
But please know, a part of me will always find a way to love you.
When nothing goes right, go left

Amazing. I thought it was very expressive and emotional.
i absolutely loved reading it and i would want to read more of these poems.
i was wondering if some typos in your poem where puposeful or accidental. Maybe re-edit a little?
there seems to be alot of self-experience in this poem as it is written with such realistic feelings.
your poem is one of the best i read so far this month.
from, sweet<3 :)

My favorite part. This was a good write! Honestly who doesn't want someone to chase after them to mkae them feel wanted?(ok maybe some people don't, they dont count) who doesnt want to feel loved. people who are in love always talk about how magical it is and quoting a movie "Love is the closest thing we have to magic' 3 words saying it is simple but meaning it is where the complications come in I know someone who says I Love You like they say hello! Theres no true meaning behind it. Anyway I really liked this!

Tidal waves they rip right through me
Tears from eyes worn cold and sad
Pick me up now, I need you so bad
Down down down down



You are beautiful because you let yourself feel, and that is a brave thing indeed.
