Selfish Thoughts

by Carmen   Sep 15, 2005


I know we don't like each other,
We both have good reasons why,
It's good for me that you can't see,
See threw all these selfish lies.

I really do like him,
Probably even close to love.
Why do I feel I'm committing a sin,
When I enjoy it?

I used to hate it,
Seeing you two together,
Throwing me into an emotional fit...
But that's all changed.

I pretend I don't notice,
When he looks at me.
When you and he kiss,
His eyes aren't on you.

I feel happy,
When you two are together.
While I used to be full of jealousy,
I know who he's truly thinking about,
And I'm sorry hun, but it's not you.

+~This poem is so not true, I just wrote it to make myself feel better one day. I tried to pretend I liked them always being together, but the truth is it destroys me inside.~+

    This poem seems wrapped-loosely i might say-around a very relatable idea... the flow was lacking a bit, there wasnt really a set rhyme scheme, which didnt help the rhythm..

    When I enjoy it?

    this line just seems out of place... the feeling is there, just through your expression it gets a little muddled..

    When you and he kiss,
    a better way to say would be when the two of you kiss, it flows a lil better and im not sure if your usage was grammatically correct.. so.. this was a good poem, but i think you could have expressed the idea more colorfully.. thats just my thoughts.. i know exactly the feeling you get, how it tears you up on the inside.. you say the poem's not true, but i wonder if his eyes are really on you(my fav line of the poem) anyway.. good job!

    Don't we all wish that this poem was true though? I mean, I know I wish it. I wish it all the time. Great poem yet again!

    Nice job, the first stanza had a nice flow. Try to keep the flow constant throughout the whole thing. Keep it up
