The heart never learns

Being in love and feeling like you will never let go

I wanted to tell you I give up 
I can't wait forever
I can't stand the tears at night
I can't let you control the lever

I wanted to tell you goodbye
I just can't make the call
I don't want to hear your voice
I am afraid I will fall

I can't forget your words
I know they are those of a teen
I wish I could just walk away
I want to remember what you mean

I know I have to let go
 I can't and won't 
I'm saying goodbye in this letter
I asked you to forget but please don't

I can't let you go
I know your not good for me
I still love you
I guess I will never learn to see

Not great but it's my emotion and personal

Sounds rough, and contradictory, with her knowing she has to leave and won't, or not wanting to. Keep up the good writing.

This is filled with such deep emotions. Do not ever think anything you write it not great because if it comes from the heart- it has to be great. I love the rhyming in this piece it all flows really nice. I just noticed the last stanza "I know you not good for me"- I think you mean "I know you are not good for me." But that is just a little error. Great job!

This is so true! it really shows that when your in love, it's nearly impossible for you to be in your right mind. Believe me, I know...

[Subjective Sanity]

No, it's fantastic! Very exposed and brave and insightful. : )

I can relate to this. it wasnt the best poem but your attachment to it makes up for the lack of fluency and rhythm . Very sweet poem. Thank you for sharing

The heart never does learn...beautiful. I love this poem, it really conveys your emotions and it's very well put together. Nice work for sure.

[Senseless whatever]

Very good write. The emotion shows. This is a special piece that most can relate to. Torn between what we want and what we feel, decisions that are never easy and leave us questioning forever 'what if?'

[Livana Lowell]

The heart is such a fragile and confusing thing, symbolzing the esscence of love and the soul. When love strikes it, perserverence comes to thought at keeping and never letting go of that person. Yet, the heart can be a very decietful thing also to where our feelings and affection blind us to reason.

Anyways, I really like your style of wriitng. Indeed, it could be touched up, but since it's a personal poem, I won't critisize. I like it and it's a beautiful piece well done.
