Best Cliché Poems


My Life Is a Cliché
When I recall the spilt milk of my youth I want to cry 
regardless of all the water that has passed under the bridge.

 On quiet nights I often find myself looking back across those bridges
that I burned so long ago and still I see all...

Hardly Trite For Being Cliché
Stuck in my head,
All of those tears I've shed,
So many times I've bled,
Now you're here in their stead.
Missing your hazel eyes,
As soft as the skies,
I'll think of you tonight;
You're all thats on my mind.
A love like ecstasy;
Who knew It'd set us free?
Others are so soon...

Cliché
Cliché is my editor’s only 
enemy. He lives, entirely 
his own life, upon the sea 
of muses where this C-
word is not to be 
used by any 
editor 
just like 
me...

I'm the Problem
It's not like I can tell you I love you
How would I even say it?
Those three words?
They don't mean anything anymore
We've all heard them so many times (in some way or another), that it's practically an old cliché
As true as it might be, we'll never...

To Luci
I'm going to level with you
I don't know how to say it
Everyone has already told this story
It's all been said before
But it's true
Every word of it is true
I guess I never realized how true it was
But now I know

Every story about butterflies my stomach
Every song...

Love
Love has been made cliché
The words won't mean anything to you
So instead, I'll give you a squeeze
And hope that the message comes through...

Your Beauty Within My Eyes
In the middle of the night
Where dreams take flight
I always think about you, every day and night.

Whenever our eyes meet
My heart always skips a beat.
Clingy, yet oh so sweet
 
Admiring you from afar
In my eyes, you shine like a rockstar 
While you see another like...

Love's so cliche
Love turns into despair 
As a slipper who can't find his pair,
All we want is love that's fair
But with you, it's so hard to bear.

The feeling that echo
That we can't let go.
Those foolish things, we repeat 
Seems like a constant beat.
 
One's blinded with stupidity...
