Still love you

Submitted by GroovyGirlJordan on November 6, 2008 - 17:56.

You dont know me,
But I love you,
You dated HER,
But I still love you,
Today you almost hit me in the face with a door,
Yet I STILL love you,
You dont know me,
Yet you can't get rid of me,
Im Barbie and YOU are my Ken. ♥

Unspoken

Submitted by m.e.rivendell on October 10, 2008 - 10:22.

Swirling, terrifying,
Confusion weighting down,
No one seems happy,
Unspoken.

Do I dare disturb the Universe?
Do I dare stand up for myself?
Thoughts,
Unspoken.

Assignments,
Bullying, scared
Sweaty palms,
Unspoken.

Secret,
Not acknowledged,
Reeking havoc,
Unspoken.

Mind games,
Teasing, taunting
Creating doubt,
Unspoken.

Defying,
Worlds fallen,
Eyes betraying,
Unspoken.

Trinity,
Schoolboys,
The Vigils,
Unspoken.

Just Friends

Submitted by JulieJ on May 22, 2008 - 17:29.

Laughter
Words
Emotions
Screams
Simple sounds
That fill the hearts of other girls with envy
Except that we’re just friends
And for once, I’m okay with that

Waiting for Boys/Girls

Submitted by pineapple_babbit on March 9, 2008 - 16:13.

Ok, this is just something that I wrote because my friend told me to wait for boys... That annoyed me because thats all I ever do, so I wrote this... Even though I still think the best way to approach boys is for them to come to you and ask you out... I don't know why, but I am more traditional in that respect...

Check

Submitted by pineapple_babbit on March 9, 2008 - 15:55.

Why do I
Always
Check when I hear someone
Get online?
Why do I
Always
Look for him?
I don’t
Want
To like him,
And I don’t
Want
To talk to him.
At least,
that’s what I’m telling
Myself.

Boys and Girls

Submitted by pineapple_babbit on March 3, 2008 - 20:38.

Sometimes I try to understand,
But it’s too hard.
We are both so different,
Like from 2 different species.
They can’t talk to me like they talk to each other,
And it’s the same thing here.
I guess that’s how it’s supposed to be…
Boys and girls are all so complicated.

Boys

Submitted by pineapple_babbit on February 28, 2008 - 21:06.

Sometimes,
I just wish that boys would think of me,
The way that I think of them,
That they would talk to me,
The way that I talk to them,
That they would look at me,
The way that I look at them,
Or That they would love me,
The way that I love them,
And sometimes,
I even wish that they would write about me,
The way that I would write about them.
