This is a new thread because... well, honestly, I think that it deserves an entirely new topic. This is, actually, a poem that I've written for a girl.

This thread is linked to from the General Discussion board, because I figured the whole "relationship advice" thing didn't belong in Tilted Sexuality (not sexual) or here (not literature). The thread is here ==> http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthr...threadid=24600

Thanks.

I should say something sterotypical
Like there being stars in your eyes,
But I can't 'cause when I see you
The better part of me dies.

This is the part from Hell, darling,
That only comes out at night
When I'm wandering the city streets
And you're out of my sight.

When I look at you, I'm happy.
I feel younger. I feel satisfied,
But when we part again, I hate myself.
I feel naked, and I feel deprived.

Do you want to know why there can't be "us"?
It's 'cause there's nothing left to feed me
With the hate, anger, amusement
That I need to feel free.

This is why I like the alleys
And it's why I call the streets my home,
And this is why there can't be "us" -
'Cause when you leave, EVERYTHING is gone.

You made me believe in love again
And put my heart together,
But I need to hurt and be broken
To remind myself that nothing lasts forever.

Remember what I said to you
About hopelessness being my hope
And pointlessness being the point of it all
And nothing mattering anymore?

Well, you made my life matter
And you gave back my dreams
Instead of giving me nightmares,
But remember - nothing's as it seems.

Remember when I told you
About nightmares making me smile
And happy dreams making me miserable?
I'm sorry, baby, but that's MY style.

So you want to know why there can't be "us"?
Because I need the freedom and you do not.
But remember that I still love you,
But hate, anger... darkness is all I got.
