The Lost Loves of our Lives


I was once a silly girl

I had no money

I had brown curls

A boy so fine came to me

He said that I was lovely

He spent a summer by my side

Everything was alright

He belonged to me

Our love came to be

He tore me up

My blood was in a cup

I pleaded and begged

Our relationship was dead

It’s plain to see

I’m not the girl I used to be

Life plays tricks on us

It’s okay to cuss

The day is through

I still have things to do

I go to bed

I’m alive I’m not dead

People come into our lives

Some are nice

Love those you got

Don’t think twice

People play tricks on us

Scream and fuss

Don’t forget why you’re here

Wipe up those tears

Don’t forget the past

Nothing lasts

Things don’t work

Life is full of hurt

Be nice to those you meet

Be who you’re supposed to be

One day it will be done

And your life will be a good one.

i am twenty years old. I am trying to earn money for college so that i will be a kindergarten teacher. The poems on this website inspire me. It inspires me because the poems are not intimidatingly perfect, but they communicate a lot of raw emotion or human quirkiness. This website is my creative outlet, and I hope everybody appreciates it as much as i do.
