Yeah, so I have a few poems...
(Yeah, that's right, I write a bit other than just RPing...)
I always tend to give out background info on my poetry so that you may understand it a little better than you would just reading it alone. Not to say that my poetry is so abstract that it cannot stand on its own, I just like to give the reader a little cushion to go on, I guess. I think it's a little neat to know what was going on in the author's head when they were writing.
Well, here goes!

Background: This poem is basically how my views on love have changed since I've been with my mate. I was always pessimistic on the subject of love, mainly because I have a tendency to loath myself and the person I am... Which made it hard to believe that there might be someone out there that might actually love me. It also reflects upon the fact that not only was I pessimistic about it, but I was also afraid. (Yes, that's right, afraid.) Everything I'd ever heard about love were true stories about how it was a train wreck just waiting to happen... So I never actually grasped the concept of how it could possibly be good. In fact, I distinctly recall avoiding my mate's kiss when I had a feeling he was going to tell me he liked me more than a friend because I was terrified that if something went wrong, that it would ruin our friendship... Silly I know, but I had always preferred to have nothing do with love in general.

(Untitled) on the subject of love.
Love was frightening,
completely confusing!
Not a choice
I'd soon be choosing!
because high school love
isn't meant to last;
just to flourish once
then place in your past.
But everything you've shown me
proved my thoughts wrong
we've lasted a long while;
we're still going strong.
And I thank that you're with me
with all I've been through,
I couldn't have survived
without you.
