The Need

The Need

The need for love in me grows day by day
I try so hard to make in go away
I push it way down deep inside
But it refuses to leave or hide

The need for love refuses to decrease
It plagues me constantly begging for release
I try to ignore it, willing the need for love to die
I tell it that the love's existence is a lie

I tell my need, love is a game of chance
I am the wallflower, no one asks to dance
I yell at it "please let me be"
I tell my aching need, love will not happen for me

I patiently explain that love is for fools
I softly cry, I' ve tried to find love but always lose
I tell my need that our chance for lovehas passed us by
The need for love in me curled up in my heart and started to cry.

    This was pretty good.. the descriptions were good.. but i felt that the repitition of "I" so much ruins the flow a little bit.. try and use it less as it gives much more power to your words.. 4/5

    I loved that poem, it was really well written, very loving but sad, keep writing
    the only thing i found wrong was the second line of the first stanza,
    "I try so hard to make IN go away"
    it should be "I try so hard to make IT go away"
    common mistake.
    love Tara-Kay

    The poem was pretty good as far as rhymes and content are concerned. You might want to limit the times you use the word need though. I loved how "love" felt like a child. Your description about the wall flower too.
