Question: Do you like my poem, and what should I call it!?
your eyes are darker than the sky
I see them follow me
I know the truth, you can't deny
the hatred that I see

your actions confuse me so much
I want to let it go
but I tremble at your light touch
your feelings, you don't show

I see the way you look at her
you love her, and not me
the fun we had, the things we were
it's like I'm never free

so here I am, waiting for you
to see that I'm in love
but the things you said can't be true
your lies, I'm aware of

I love, I hate, I can't decide
what I'm feeling for you
the reason for the nights I cried
just please give me a clue



soo, thats my poem!. do you like it!? what should i call it!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Well, I have a problem with people calling something "emo" just because it's melancholy, but that is a separate conversation for a different day!.

About your poem: I do like it!.

I get the impression that this man used the speaker; he made her fall in love with him while he refused to give her his heart in return---that belongs to another girl!.

Perhaps this girl that the man is in love with doesn't love him back, and this is all a huge cycle of unrequited love!? Maybe this man compensated for the unshared feelings by starting something with another girl, not intending to have anything "special" with her!.

There's imagery here that's very nice: the black eyes of the boy, full of hate!. The "light touch" alludes to a certain type of adoration!.!.!.

It's a poem of contradiction, I feel like!.

As for titles, you can name it anything you want!. I have some works that are actually titled "Untitled #1, #2, etc!." I've got one piece that's entitled 00!.03!.30 because it took me three minutes and thirty seconds to write it!. Your title doesn't have to match the content of your poem!. As my Comparative Literature professor would say: the title doesn't have to mean anything!. It's the form of the piece, not the content, that makes it what it is!.

Edit: Aw, thank you :] But it's not so much smart as!.!.!.trained!. Haha!. I'm an English major, so taking all these upper-division English courses since about the seventh grade will really get you to analyze anything, you know!? Thanks for the lovely compliment!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ok I love it! It kinda describes my life!.!.!. Theres one thing you should change though!. When you say "your feelings, you don't show" instead say "Your feelings, they don't show"!. I think it should be call Find Me or Get a Clue :]Www@QuestionHome@Com
