Question: Read these two poems, and say which one you prefer!.!.!.!?
i'll write up the poems first, then tell you what i want!. the names are untitled and forbidden love!.

UNTITLED

Seconds grew into minutes,
minutes grew into hours,
hours grew into days,
days grew into months!.

all this time had passed,
with me bearing all of this pain!.
you came like an angel of light,
and helped to save me from my plight!.

you calmed me down,
through the angriest od time,
you lend a hearing ear,
when it was needed!.

you said you loved me,
but why am i not feeling loved!?
you said you never want to hurt me,
yet why am i feeling hurt!?

all your words now hang,
like empty promises!.
all what you said you would not have done,
you are doing right now to me!.

close friends, best friends, just friends,
you knew i never was going to get close,
yet i allowed you to,
and what did i get in return!?

the same amount of pain, hurt, anger, rage,
everything i've been holding back for so long,
now comes back to haunt me,
like a ghost that never fades!.

exactly what i've been trying to avoid,
is exactly what i get in return!.
never am i going to get close to anyone again:
so tell me; what makes you so different!?

what makes you stand out among the rest!?
race, religion, has nothing to do with it!.
i still hurt inside, wounds now heal,
and you came with a knife,
just to reopen them again!.

all this hurt!? all this pain!?
all of this horror!? everything i go through,
all for what!?
please, tell me:

why!?!


Forbidden love

the very first time we met,
you told me you loved me,
i laughed at your blunt statement,
as i thought you were a next delusional!.

yet every time we spoke,
you kept reminding me of the love you had for me,
one that was undying,
one that you said would last forever!.

as time passed, i began to realize the truth in my feelings,
i was starting to fall for you!.
desperate for advice,
i searched, found and acted upon it!.

you weren't like the rest!.
you didn't offer me the moon or the stars,
you didn't tell me all those romantic lyrics!.
you offered what you had for me,your undying love!.

you never thought of ay other girl,
not the ones before, now and to come,
you only thought of me,
the one who is going to break your heart!.

maybe in th next six months,
when we do talk to each other,
we'll see how undying your love is!.
and maybe just maybe you are the one!.

so i can imagine you,
patiently waiting each day just to hear from me,
just to know i'm ok,
just to hear the words, 'i love you!.'

unfortunately, things are going to turn out differently!.
family, friends, religion all oppose,
all oppose to me being with you:
better to be with someone else!.

maybe someday in the future,
you'll find that lucky girl,
who'll be able to do what i was incapable of doing,
simple, loving you!.

but someday you'll understand,
somedat you will know,
the real and hidden truth,
by all of my rejection!.

loving another person, is not in my capacity,
it is out of bounds, over the limits,
pain, fear,rejection all hover over my life,
and this i can't bear to you!.

but just to give you a glimmer of hope,
but just so you know,
somewhere deep down inside of me,
i really do love you!.

ok that's it!. i want you to choose the one you prefer!. why you prefer it!? and give a brief overview on what you thought of it!. thanks in advance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Undying love!.

I chose it because it came with much more feelings than the other!.
It came from the heart!. It's more realistic!.

It moves you to;
Feel sorry for the couple, and would like to see them happy as they carry on with their lives!.

It's a very good poem, but it does need some glossing over!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Both poems are easy to relate to which is what readers want, a relationship between poet and reader!.
Watch your rhyming schemes and pay attention to spelling others great job!Www@QuestionHome@Com
