    Poem Commentary

    I waited for a man for a long time.  Years.  Finally, I grew up and got over it.  Then lo & behold, who should come crawling back?  Begging to be mine?  Sorry honey.  Too late.

    To Any Boy I Ever Made Cry (Especially One)

    I could promise you forever
    But that would be a lie.
    You had me at hello.
    You lost me at goodbye.

    Don't let me break your heart.
    Don't let me lead you on.
    My intentions may be right
    But it always turns out wrong.

    I'm a bird that's flying free.
    I'm a fire that's burning wild.
    Though I've tried hard to grow up,
    I can't tame my inner child.

    If you feel that you must love me,
    Go ahead, but heed my warning.
    You may dream of me at night,
    But I won't be there in the morning.

    There's a heart somewhere inside of me
    Beneath the blackened coals.
    The walls are built up so high
    That it's hard to touch my soul.

    You may try to hold my hand.
    I'll most likely pull away.
    It won't do you any good
    To cry, or beg, or pray.

    If I don't want to be with you
    I'm quick to move along.
    I'm not worth your tears.
    Man up and be strong.

    You'll find someone to love you.
    In time you'll surely see.
    Right now you keep saying
    You want no one else but me.

    Begging's not attractive.
    You'd think that you would learn.
    Play around with fire
    Sometimes you get burned.

    I just don't feel a spark.
    No love, no lust at all.
    I can't stand the way you get mad
    When I don't text or call.

    You had your chance and somehow
    Things didn't quite work out.
    A girl from long ago
    Who you'll have to live without.

    If you want to be my friend,
    Respect that and move on.
    Don't guilt me into liking you.
    When you get through I'll be gone.

    Don't be upset with me.
    You brought this all upon yourself.
    Nothing can change the way I feel.
    Not your drugs, your smile, your wealth.

    I don't want to hurt you.
    Please learn to understand.
    Quit your bitchin' and your moanin'.
    You will never be my man.

    you sure broke someone's heart. very bluntly said, neither do you mince words. harsh reality said in prose.

    I love this poem because I feel the same way about this boy. You put the words in most girls hearts into a beautiful poem. You better do that.

    Heck yea! Very Eloquently Put! I love the last stanza! Send him away and let him know there will never be a DOUBT!

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
