Everyday I strive to please you

Because for some silly reason

I hope you'll take me back

I wish that when you get close

And open your mouth to speak to me

That you'll embrace me instead

And beg me to take you back

But you won't

I know all your favorite bands

And I go home to immerse myself in you

Louder and louder

Because I want to be reminded

Of the time we shared

Even if it was bitter, the taste

You left in my mouth

From everyday

Wondering if I was enough

If I did all the right things

I guess I didn't

Because you still left me alone

Even

When I strove to please you

Hello! The name I'm going by on the site is Trizdy Plat. I began writing poems in ninth grade, when I met my first friend at the high school. I had never really thought much about it, but I've always loved writing stories, even thought I'm not very good. I decided to try my hand at poetry instead, and here we are! I mainly write about love and relationships, even though I'm pretty much clueless in both areas. I find that poetry has a way of communicating what you want to say, even if what you're saying makes no sense. Right?
