Ode to loneliness

written by: Blaqwynter

Should love always be a one way street?
Oh how I yearn for your love,
I hate this damn feeling, of defeat.
Oh how I wish for your love
Could you ever love me back one day?
Am I just someone to fuck, until somebody better comes along?
I don't know what else I could say
Am I just out of my luck? will this relationship really last long?
I often wonder, why I even love you
As hurtful this may seem,
I am not sure where to go or what to do
could this all be a dream?

If only...
If only...

you could love me

Swearing in poetry cheapens it dramatically but gives it a realistic tone. I can produce the same effect without swearing, but, this is all a matter of style and preference. It doesn't matter what I think about your poem because the poem should represent you and if you are representing yourself honestly, then, that's what matters. Personally, I was distracted from the real message because of the wording you used.

Considering that he is feeling that might be why he chose to swear. When he was writing, if its how he's feeling, you know right there that he was angry. Or maybe he was just looking for a rhyming word. Good poem either way.

Of course. If that's what he's feeling, he's being honest and I can appreciate that. If it's just there to fit into his rhyming scheme, then that's another thing. Rhyming is okay in moderation, but, it shouldn't take over the whole message or any part of the message. You shouldn't alter the message of your poem only to perfect your rhyming scheme. I do not believe that is the case here. Here, the author is being honest I believe. There is a tone of anger I can feel. Since this poem invokes feeling, it is effective.
