The Outcast

I saw you in the corner of the classroom And so my love for you would bloom With your long dark hair and eyes of blue I saw how special you were but wondered if you knew Headphones in ; nose in a book What is your hook? As the school year went on My feelings grew strong The other kids think you're a freak A loner, a weirdo, a creep They would probably say the same about me If they knew I admired you secretly "Nothing special," they say, nothing special they see How is it you have this effect on me? A whole school year spent lonelier as ever Because I knew we could never be together Many a time I tried to approach you; Something that you never knew. I never had the courage to go to your desolate corner And everytime I turned away I left you even lonelier A love so forbidden it tore me apart You'll never know how you held my heart You'll never know the control you had over me You were like a drug I couldn't let be.

Jemma W,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
