Actually believed this would be different. I thought some things could Really work out, but Yet somehow words got Twisted and the phone rang with no Answer. I almost believed there would be Love beyond the lust. It’s said Everything happens for a reason, but Skinny love I am still waiting here. |
I was inspired to write this poem because it made me think of my last crush I had that never really went away and I am sure many other teenagers have gone through this before. |
I wrote this elegy about my ex leaving but then wanting me back, and how I am over him and want to let go of the past and move on by saying good bye. |
Some day he is going to realize he made the mistake I tried to stop him from making, but I won’t care anymore. My heart won’t skip a beat and the butterflies won’t swirl in my stomach, and I won’t double take when he comes around. My eyes won’t be searching for his in a crowded room. Some day he is going to realize no matter what I felt before, I wasn't going to wait around for him to feel the same. He may stop by to say “hello” but all he will ever get from me is “goodbye”.

When it rains it pours
I lost the chance to be his But now the thunder will roar |
This haiku is about my last crush again and describing the feelings of it being over to nature - a thunderstorm. |
My inspiration of this limerick was about my last crush (hence the theme is about a guy), but this was to be more humorous than serious of what actually happened between us. |
One day I met a cute boy
who treated me like I was a toy he was no where to be found when I did not stick around his disappearance was a joy |
When He Ended Things But Still Said This to Me
-- Do we want to hang out next weekend? -- You are so cute. -- I call you babe, because you’re my babe. -- We can’t keep texting? -- If I was with you I would want to know. -- I’m still gonna marry you. -- I got really jealous seeing you with him. -- I don’t want to talk about it. -- I want to just stand here and hug. -- I never said I would never want to date. -- I know what we would have been. -- No, the answer will always be no. -- We are never going to be together. |
This list poem was inspired to be about when my last crush and I stopped talking yet he still said things to me like we were then when I asked him questions about us he told me it was still over. |
The inspiration of this poem came my last crush who does not know what he wants and if the need of me being in his life is being questioned then I do not want to be with him and I do not want to wait for him to decide when I could find someone who would not question me. |
Just because I haven’t moved on
Don’t use me as a back up Don’t play mind games Still treat me with respect Just because I haven’t moved on It doesn't mean I want to wait around It doesn't give him the right to confuse me It doesn't stop me from finding someone new Just because I haven’t moved on Still want to know how he really feels Can’t wait until I do Just because I haven’t moved on -- doesn't mean I want him back |
I don’t understand
why I still text him back why I let him see me why he goes to my social media accounts But most of all why he gets jealous why he flirts with me why he leads me on What I understand most is why I still like him why I haven’t moved on why he's my skinny love |
This poem is about the confusion of what is going on between my crush and I because he does not want to be more than friends anymore yet his actions tell me otherwise. |
This "I am" poem represents what is important to me with relationships and my crush. It is what I think needs to be most valued with another person. |
I am.
Strength, Dignity, Independent. I enjoy holding hands and cuddling. Loyalty, Respect, Honesty are important to me. I want the best for myself. I have been hurt, but without pain there is no real love. I will be treated as a priority. He will appreciate and adore me. We will never disrespect each other. I am. |
I believe in the good of all people
the chance everybody deserves to have the passion of being with someone you love the respect to your significant other timing, soul mates, saying “I love you” but never cheating on someone I believe in forever and always I believe in falling in love I believe in being meant for each other tenderness, unconditional love, compassion And I believe in him and I |
This poem was inspired by how I want my future relationship with my crush to be. I want to have the same values and morals with him. |
My free verse is directly about the theme of my poetry packet. It is how I feel about the current situation I am in with my crush. |
Maybe this is what we were meant to be and what we are always going to be. Maybe he will never want me more than a friend and I will never tell him that I love him. Maybe this crush that has lasted a year should be gone by now, but I can’t find a reason to move on. Skinny love, I could never get over the taste of his lips or the intertwining of our hands. What is it going to take to get him to admit his feelings for me that he still shows? Is my crush going to last another year or so?
