If you can describe the feeling you get when you write a poem, chances are you can write a good one.

Write a poem about love. Not of finding or losing love. But of love itself.

I'm not dead. I'm dying.

All the pieces fall to the floor
All the pieces shatter into more

Breathless sobs are all i know
wordless sadness is all i feel

How funny.
As long as i can remember, i haven't cried for sadness.
I've cried out of anger and frustration.
Interesting.

I always danced to the rhythem of my footsteps,
but i never seemed to find the beat.

Everyday my mind howled for release from the thoughts that gripped it.

I'm not with stupid. We broke up.

Their smiles are too bright to be real
their eyes too caring even to notice
spotless in their distress
lying in their voice
i can see it all
