Far too long I lived a lie
Believing in whatever was served to me
Denying what I pleased
Now, I know the truth within me
And I know what's behind me
You are
You are the one who showed me myself
and you are the one who I can trust
And sometimes I can be dramatic
and spill out tears, saying I am sad
Wanted to believe I'm sad, but no,
You make me dig deeper into myself
To find what I truly felt
And in the end, I knew it wasn't sadness
I felt it wasn't sadness, it was something different
How could this happen to me?
Why have I never tried to know how I felt?
Why... why did I lie to myself
While I was completely honest to you?
I can tell you one truth:
After living in a far too naive and shallow life
I don't have to trick myself into feeling this
Openly I can say it, and I can't care less who sees
I love you.

Wonderful poem. This is full of love and emotion, and I really like it.
Good work!
Thank you
Now, I must go, for Geometry class is now.
Aye....-
My favourite parts. What a lovely poem.
What is it with you and your untitle poems being so great? Put a title to this (as well as the other untitled one...).
It's very well written, full of obvious emotion and feeling for this person, who you have opened yourself to, when you couldn't anyone else? Yes? No?
Anway, I can't see anything in particular I would change, so carry on!

Pretty.
It's sweet, or something more than sweet. I like it.
I like that ending.
Hmmm ... well, I know you want me to kill it, but poetry's not my best subject, and there aren't any flaws I can see with my un-trained eye, so Well Done!
Very, very beautiful.
Reminds me of two of my poems.. This is wonderful.
Wow....I feel the emotion there, TBR--very well done--beautiful and powerful in its own way.
Lovely. Whoever its for I can tell you mean it dearly.
