Girl wants Boy

Girl wants Boy

I should have known

That you wouldn’t like my lipstick,

And that the colour of my hair

Was all but right.

 

I should have sensed the truth

When you didn’t say you loved me,

And wouldn’t walk me to my door

Late the other night.

 

But I just fooled myself into thinking,

Thinking everything would be okay,

But it wasn’t, and still isn’t

So now I am left to walk away

 

Alone into the sunset

 

Alone into the future

 

With only memories and photos,

And the poem you wrote for me

Which I tore from the wall

We once shared

 

From the den we once shared

In the forest once shared

Near the lake we once bathed in

Atop the tallest tree.

 

I look but can’t read the poems last line

Tear filled and blurred, my eyes cannot see,

So I wipe them and whimper as it reads ‘I love you’

Then I get out my lipstick and fill in the ‘d.’

This flows quite well, almost as if it were written by a girl. You portray her thoughts very well.

Quite sad to note that her lover didn't feel the same way.

I really like this peace. great job. and I just love the end: So I wipe them and whimper as it reads 'I love you'
Then I get out my lipstick and fill in the 'd.'

I rather like the feel of this poem, especially the last line.
