Learned to Do Without

A silly little poem I wrote when I was first beginning to explore the field of poetry. It's not very good, but I would feel bad getting rid of it all the same.

Fairytales, spun from silver and gold.

Made me forget, how the world could be so cold.

No more dreamings for me….

 

Sometimes things are harder than they seem,

Doesn’t that completely fit, you and me?

Trying so hard to work it out,

Yet each touch, each embrace, seems to fill me with doubt.

 

You tell me it’s okay,

It’ll be fine in the end.

But how can I believe?

How do I know this isn’t just pretend?

 

I’m sick of love stories,

I’m sick of love songs.

I’m sick of wanting more.

So why can’t I seem to find, what I’ve been looking for?

Aren’t there answers? 

Will there be a brighter day? 

Or will things forever stay the same?

Will we never find a way?

Can a nonexistent heartbreak hope to find a cure?

 

Memories, will always remain.

Trying to distract me from the real world’s pain.

No more comforts for me….

 

Sometimes it is useless to dream,

Doesn’t that explain why things aren’t like they should be?

Finding myself able to do without,

The love I fooled myself into thinking was happiness’s only route.

 

A love I once believed in.

Is somehow torn away.

I find that I don’t need it.

Now I can finally escape from this role I was forced to play!

I’m sick of love stories,

I’m sick of love songs.

I’m sick of wanting more.

So why can’t I seem to find, what I’ve been looking for?

Aren’t there answers? 

Will there be a brighter day? 

Or will things forever stay the same?

Will we never find a way?

Can a nonexistent heartbreak hope to find a cure?

Or is this love simply a necessity

I've learned to do without?

It's cliche and armature-ish, I know. But what did you think?

I think even though that's Cliche and armature-ish it's still sweet and well written. My first poem was 5 lines long :P Lol I loved it. I thought it's naivety gave it such an innocent feel. :) If this is your first I can only imagine how great of a writer you are and are going to become.
Good write
