The Hopeless Romantic

I know I haven't read much of your guys' stuff. But I'm getting to it. I just hope all of you can be kind enough to take a look!

 She's out of my league,

Yet I'm encumbered with her every word,

Enstilled with an unnamed emotion

Only to be described as awed.

 

Her beauty emanates,

Yet I appear dull in comparison to her,

An uneven gradient,

Invading my mind telling me I'm nothing.

 

She has wealth beyond money,

Yet I am revealed as worthess,

Polar opposites?

Or am I just unworthy?

 

Her name sings the melody of angels,

Yet mine is sour to the lips,

Enthrolled in the song of her name,

Yeilding my every move.

 

Hopelessly I search,

Finding the perfect one,

Only to once again,

be The Hopeless Romantic.

Author's Note

I don't really like the end to this, but like all of my work, I have a harder time ending something then starting it.

WOW , that was so amazing. It made me do the whole "girly sigh" as I read it. Every girl wants a guy who would write something like this about her! I say GO FOR IT! :-D You dont know until you try eh? You create your own league and no one can tell you different, therefore no one can be out of your league unless you put them out of it!! I mean, I'm a cheerleader so naturally people assume that I want some star quarterback so no other guy even trys to talk to me, which is completely wrong! I mean Id take a poet who is aware of his feelings over some "jock" ANY DAY! So go for it! :-D Who knows, you may be just what she is looking for ! :-D great poem.. I loved it

Well, hopeless romantic, you do play the part well. Just remember that feelings are not facts... and kick those inferior thoughts from your mind... they have no place there and will bring you no justice. Keep writing.... your feelings are seeping through... and that's what poetry is all about.

I think this was a nice piece telling of ones battle with self worth. Showing us how comparing oneself to others only brings about a morose condition of the heart.

Hope springs eternal! And faith in oneself goes for miles.

Nice!

It's a good poem. Don't underestimate yourself man, just take a gamble and go for it. Can't gain anything without snatching for it right?
