Hopeless (NONET)

by Amanda Bee   Jun 11, 2005


Can you not see that I adore you?
I’m hopelessly living for you
But you simply walk away
And leave me standing here
In the doorway of
Your selfish heart
Praying you’ll
Come for
Me

    I love this... its short, but sweet, and contains alot of emotion.. you are good at putting alot of that, into such a short phrase... its also leaves you thinking... well keep up the good work!

    Nonets are the best type of poem. i love this, because unlike other nonets i've read, you can read it once and get everything, all the lines connect to each other. Very nice

    Love the poem, it's a nice nonet, i just learned how to make those not to long ago and at least for me i thought that they were kind of a challenge. you did a lovely job with the poem. i too also love the door way line like holly. and also to let you know the butterfly icon in your profile is also very beautiful!
