Grow A Pair

by Robert   Oct 16, 2004


I thought it was a love so true,
You just said, and knew what to do.
You held my hand and talked instead of wanting to play,
You reassured me it was my company and not my womanly way.
You said you wanted to know me inside and out,
But why do you not remain stout?
You held your tongue as they told you I was just another thrill,
And passed me by like just another girl.
You stammered and said, they were right in what they said,
You made me feel so bad I wanted to be dead.
I asked you once, if you could love someone like me,
You said yes, but now your friends tell you to set me free.
I am crying tears of pain that won’t go away,
And all I wish is that you find it in your heart to stay.
Anger, and frustration I know not what to do,
For should I beg you to come back, or be through with you?
After all that we talked about and had to share,
I think you should just tell them and me the truth and grow a pair!

    Oh how I loved that ending...so intense and powerful and filled with such bitterness and annoyance..

    I think this was wonderfully written, the emotion in this was beautifully displayed, as was the imagery and the flow was good throughout the entire piece.

    I particularly enjoyed the feelings of hopelessness and confusion mixed with the anger at the end, I thought that made for a powerful transistion.

    This one shows ultimate feelings and emotions. The rhyming seem forced and i didn't like the structrure again. i'm sorry. but it was pretty good other wise.. :0]

    This shows a painful story of love and influence friends have on their own friends. It's hard when you have such strong feelings for someone and their friends don't like you etc. This line seemed a bit hard to read for me, because it had two 'said's;
    'You stammered and said, they were right in what they said,'
    but other than that, this would be the best penned poem yet. Well done.

    Honestly, I don't like this one. I can't see real emotions in it, rhyming seem forced and flow is off in some lines. My suggestion is that you should work one some unique metaphors and original ways for expressing your feelings. You don't have to listen to me, that's just my opinion and this is your poetry.
