Short Little Did I Know Poems

Hope is lost.

I have lost my way.

Just wanting to find my way home.

Kept thinking I knew the way,

Little did I know........

The pretentiousness  of I 
Tilting at windmills 
In the hope of 
Dulcinea
Little did I know that
My Shadow 
Had the only giants 
To be found...

Little did I know
Of all the random and
Various people in the world,
Easily and readily,
You chose me
Over all others
Until the end

They warned me of your eyes,
telling me of each and every lie.
You whispered sweet words into my ears,
making my world stop.
But little did I know you’d steal my heart,
then,
oh so carefully,
tearing it apart....

Bare hands stirring over my body
Little resistance, pushed against wall
Echoing of my scream shivered down
Strong figure felt like a known to me
The stare sensed me of my own blood
Little did I know, Dad about you..

My first Marlboro, was given to me by a friendly bloke.
Little did I know it's more addictive than coke.
I went from three a day, to being permanently broke.
This story has made me depressed, I guess I'll have another smoke....

What can i do but endure
This constant world of hurt
Everytime my heart beats 
The cracks get even worse
I thought that i was healing 
But little did i know 
Nothing could prepare me for 
The stinging pain of my heart
Being torn once more...

Within his eyes
I seemed like the prize
But I’ve always been sufficiently wise 
Than to believe his lies

Within his eyes 
he seemed to compromise
little did I know that was a disguise 
to not have to deal with me and my plus-size size...

I thought you were sweet as honey 
to bring joy and happiness. 
Beautiful moments I dreamt of, 
making me wander around looking for love 
little did I know that I was wrong 
for you turned out to be painful 
and left a wound that never heals....

when i wrote those 3 words to you
i meant for them to be an innocent sign of my affection
little did i know that it would change my entire life as i know it
when i said those 3 words, you looked me in the eyes and said in return
"i love you too"...

Little did I know
Our mistletoe kiss that night
By the Christmas tree
Would be the last kiss we shared
And then you left forever

My letters, somewhat unrealistic and poetic, have always been long and sweet,
making you  feel happy and float on sun-lit clouds,
but little did I know that you flirted on Tweet;
read this last one...it spells your pathetic unfaithfulness with proof of doubts....

Admiring from afar
Wishing for my star
Yet my mind tends to drift away
Lost in thoughts of what I'll say to u in a way
It may sound like flatter
Little did I know that my heart seems to flutter
At the sight of ur very existence
Which drives me crazy from a distance...

I miss December and the way your cheeks turned red when you smiled back at me,
The coldness of your hand blending in with the coldness of mine.
The way the hairs on your arms stood up when you were beside me, 
But little did I know it wasn’t because of me.
It was just cold.
It was December....

You came into my life as quite as a mouse,
At first i did'nt know there was a wifey at the house.
Little did i know that my jealousy would give in,
To know that when you leave, i may never see you again.
It's kinds hard being the one to sleep alone in the dark,
I know that you can't love me yet you have my heart....

so many years just down the drain
      my so called friend
little did i know the horrible pain
     my so called friend
it came calling at your door 
     my so called friend
it will rote you to the core
        i said to you
     my so called friend
you didn't listen its now the end
      of my so called friend....

Listen to poem:

long awaited summer
school let out
freedom within my grasp

a new pool next
to the sauna cabana
built by dad

life was perfect

little did i know
youth was slipping
through my fingers

As soon as hello we said goodbye
Goodbye was a word id never spoken
Or ever wanted to hear of
Our lips touched as if we had forever 
Little did I know it would be cut short by that fatal word 
So now I say goodbye
Goodbye handsome
Goodbye believer
Goodbye dreamer
Goodbye friend
Goodbye love 
A name to put all this in one?
Goodbye Andrew...

Alone in the dark
I did walk
on the outside looking in.
Wanting to fit in.
To find a place to call home.
Little did I know,
you walked the  same line.
Our paths parallel one to another.
One rainy summer morning
I threw a sharp curve
and our lives did converge.
Our paths no longer were two,
down one lane we did emerge
walking as one, united,...

I was mistreated
but now I have him
and feel completed 
I can honestly say,
I've never felt a love like this,
since my first.
When you found me,
I was broken and bleeding.
Little did I know,
you'd be the one to keep my heart beating.
Your my light, like the scorching sun.
You were the one, who had my gluegun.
to piece me back together, once again....

How long will I be here?
In the cold and the rain
If I wait long enough
It might numb the pain

I remember the day
When I first found you
Our minds were care free
Our love was true

How wonderful it felt
To know you loved me
Little did I know
How broken I'd be

Worse than a bullet
or skin torn apart
Those can't compare
To the ache in my heart...

The Door



A doomed soul was I,
buried beneath deep darkness,
Hope having dawned long ago,
even the tears had ceased to flow,

Little did I know that,
paradise islands of glory would gleam,
Bright sunshine will tightly embrace,
and then I opened that door!

You're smile kept me afloat on the ocean,
casting my fears away,
but little did I know,
you were not mine to stay.

Our topic of love was exciting,
as you wiped every tear.
But,
you shot through my heart with a harpoon gun at start.

But as you made sure to fumble with my hair,
fixing every single curl,
you whispered the words,
"I like another girl."...

Our Love 
I thought was so Rare
Little did I know
That you didn't care
I woke up each day 
Believing in every way
Thinking our lives together were here to stay 
Yes....
What a fool I am
Learning it was all a scam
I am guilty of trusting you
Not thinking it wasn't true
The truth is free
No more lies for me
As the Beatles say... Let It Be......Let It Be........

I dwell on my memories about you,
 I once loose hope and wake up without you in my heart.
 I never thought I would ever admit how precious you are to me,
 but little did I know that my soul and yours are mate.

I love your name especially you,
 you are beautiful and deceitful,
 I believe you have super powers,
 because every time I think about you my heart melt....
