This is a poem I wrote awhile ago to a girl I used to date. It’s pretty cheesy, but whatever. I like the way I’m trying to structure it, but maybe the content isn’t too great. Also, I don’t know when to capitalize (beginning of every line?). Does it feel forced?
It’s hard for me to think and say/
The words to show the way I feel./
I can compare thee to a summer’s day,/
But those words are not my own to reveal./
Words seem so inadequate./
Actions seem to not suffice./
Now I stare and think and sit/
With words rewritt’n over twice./
So here I am with words amiss/
With nothing but my heart to give./
And on your cheek I press a kiss./
Air that with you I truly live./
With you, my heart skips a beat./
I flutter off from the floor./
Without you, the sole thought I keep/
Is to be with you just once more./
One more chance to hold you tight./
Make told words once more anew./
How you make full my life./
Say the words “I love you.”/
Edit: Being so long + late at night = some wrong words. Had to change a few things.
