"just a toy"

by Chris Engle   Jul 7, 2004


I said i love you,
and you said it back,
but did you mean it,
or was it a wise crack?..

you claimed to love me,
as i love you,
you said you did.
but if only i knew..

you never loved me,
and you never would.
but i couldn't have known,
i would've if i could..

i honestly love you,
many times this was said.
and i will continue to love you,
until i am dead.

but still you hurt me,
you yanked my heart,
and then you ran,
like a flying dart..

i was just a toy,
to pass the time.
but when i found out,
i still pardoned your crime..

but yet again you hurt me,
i wont let you have your fun,
I'm sick of this pain,
its over, we're done..

thus my love's gone,
i actually cared.
to think you'd hurt me,
i never dared..

i must give in,
nothing to hold me up.
let the pain end,
with the pills in this cup..

    Alright job on the rhyming, overall the poem felt cliched to me, there was nothing special in it to make me differentiate it from the hundreds just like it that I've read in the past(I've written some too). Good start with the rhymes though. There was one time that I thought that the rhyme was a little off in these two stanzas:

    i honestly love you,
    many times this was said.
    and i will continue to love you,
    until i am dead.

    but still you hurt me,
    you yanked my heart,
    and then you ran,
    like a flying dart..

    They just feel, I don't know, I guess corny is the best word for them. Keep writing, keep improving!

    A hearfelt write but I find with rhyming poems they tend to come out a bit forced. Freestyle quite often allows one to let loose and I think this one would grasp the reader better if you didn't have to worry about word selection. Nonetheless a good job!
