A New Feeling

all year long

I see you

walking the halls

of our school

I hear people say your name

& think nothing of it

then school lets out

you start talking to me

I barely know you

but still, I talk back

you text me

i text you

we text constantly

i get to know you

& you get to know me

soon enough,

i talk to you more

than my closet friends

sometimes I talk

to them about you

they ask me who I like

I say no one

they believe me

and so do I

they know you

from what I say

but they dont know

what you look like

then one day,

my close friend

finally sees a picture of you

she goes on and on

about how cute you are

and i agree with her

you are cute

I can't deny that truth

but now its starting to annoy me

knowing she thinks this of you too

I dont know what to do

I'm glad she agrees with me

about you

but yet, it bothers me

that she thinks you're cute

i get a weird urge

something I didn't recognize

but I could still feel what it was

possesiveness

I wanted to claim you

and keep you away from her

though you are only a friend

I wanted you to myself

to not share you

again, they ask it

"do you like anyone?"

& again I say no

but is that the truth?

no, its not

I cant deny that truth

I like you

it's the only way to explain

the possesiveness I feel for you

although it is a new feeling

it is strong enough

to reveal the truth to me

this new truth

but what can I do about it?

should I tell you?

should I hint?

I decide to wait

until I understand

this new feeling more

to tell you of how I feel

Author's Note

please ignore the grammar and spelling errors. i still dont have the spell check or anything.


I know this is definately not my best, it is also not my favorite of my work. But i decided to put it up still. Now, most of my poems are made up or slightly based of a personal experience, but taken over by my imagination and turned into something entirely different. But with this poem, it is mostly a real experience for me.

That was really good. I enjoyed reading it.

Wow, this was an awesome piece. :) I love the line when you write:
they ask me who I like

"I say no one

they believe me

and so do I"
It's brilliant. Really great. Keep it up. :) I love the way your thinking, it's like we're reading what you think. I loved how you made it like a whole love story type, it flowed very well.
Your doing really really great. ^^

It's a nice description of a naive high school fling. Sometimes you have to write and get these things out of your system.

This was....awesome!
I can so totally relate tot his. He's my classmate and *sigh* Talking with him makes me feel great. Not the possesiveness part, but yeah! Something about the 'sweet feeling' must be done.
You have written about so many of us, including me. The part about the text messaging and talking more and more holds true for my life...
Coming back to your poem, I loved it. It's one of the sweetest romantic poems I've read here. It goes on with such a perfect flow that I can help but read on and on and once I'm finished, I have to say, "Wow!! It's all what has happened with me!!"
Seriously, this poem's superb. Such enchanting piece of art...
I loved it so much!!
FANTASTIC!! TERRIFIC!!
