[glow=purple,2,300]Have you ever felt such a strong emotion, whether it be happiness, sadness, anger, etc... and you felt like you were just going burst inside? Of course you have, we all have. This piece in particular... I wrote awhile ago about a former crush. This was meant to be written as a poem but it's not as formed as my other pieces I've posted here at SD. Hope you guys enjoy it anyway...[/glow]

I don't know why I'm so angry
I don't even know you -
you don't even know me.
Why am I so mad? You're happy.
I should have befriended you - atleast.
I should have stopped walking when you said, "Hey"
but I didn't, I kept on walking
pretending not to hear you.

We never ever really talk
just a word here and there.
You light up the room when you walk in.
God I sound like a stupid cliche.
...But it's true, just seeing you makes my day.
I treasure those .5 seconds our eyes meet - occasionally
when you pass the hall
you glance in my direction
but you're not looking for me
you're looking for...

I saw you in their arms
and my heart just fell into my stomach.
I feel like gagging now.
I want you - but I can't have you.
No, I would never allow it. Why not?
Just because. I could never make you happy.
Oh, but I want to so badly.
I wish you would acknowledge me,
give me that time of day even I
don't think I deserve -
but that's fine.
I'm content with seeing you in the halls...
across the room.
...and I'm content with simply, breathing
the same air you breathe.

I saw a couple of grammatical errors but I wouldn't change them mainly becuase you can tell it is written by someone who is frustrated and most people when frustrated can't form proper sentences... great job! I've already added it to the index I got you covered lol

[glow=purple,2,300]haha! thanks girl ;D [/glow]

[Only Me]

lol... your welcome

[allmeheart]

seemed as though it was written thoughts put in the form of a poem, gave it a nice touch, loved it, i saw a few mistakes but everyone's got a few of those

[Sharon]

[glow=purple,2,300]just reading this piece over again... i can almost feel the same emotions i was feeling then, not exactly anger but... just a little more than disappointment (not sure if that makes any sense) hm... i see a couple of you have stumbled upon some grammatical errors but eh, i wouldn't change a single word in this piece [/glow]

"I treasure those .5 seconds our eyes meet "

--I just love this line. Great job Sharon

i like the format, the -- serves to intergrate the sporadic thoughts that make the poem so sporadic.
