    I know this isn't that great and I appreciate your feedback. Here it is:

    Edit: My site went down. Here is the poem.

    Just Friends

    We are just friends
    I barely know you
    So pathetic
    What could I show you?

    You see me
    And I see you
    You see a friend
    Words far to true
    If I’m even that
    Sometimes I don’t know
    I barely see you
    Goodbye before hello
    I hate this love
    I hate this hate
    I hate it all
    It’s so opaque
    What’s wrong with me?
    What’s right with you?
    A love hate tragedy
    Through and through

    I love a friend
    Can’t befriend that love
    I love to hate
    But hate’s not enough

    I sit alone
    Forcibly happy
    Invading thoughts
    Painfully sappy
    Love and hate
    They’re both the same
    Both require effort
    Both reward pain
    Rise above emotions
    Above lust, above fear
    Gracefully ascend
    Above all I hold dear
    Sounds so simple
    It’s so tragic
    A lost soul
    The hopeless romantic

    You’re a good friend
    Maybe less, never more
    Not even a close friend
    But impossible to ignore

    You're impossible to ignore.
    Just impossible to ignore.
    You're impossible to ignore.
    I'd love to ignore you.

    its okays but i gotta say that it could use a bit of creativity...

    anyone can find a rhyming word and a certain rhythm and put together something that looks like a poem or song.. but if you want to make something of it you need to be able to bend the literal meaning of your words... give your reader something to look into, create a style for yourself so your work can clearly be identified over all the half-asked angst writing that you see everywhere..

    in the context of a song i say it fits in.. but in the terms of poetry.. its very weak

    my fav lines

    "What’s wrong with me?
    What’s right with you?
    A love hate tragedy
    Through and through"

    keep it up :)

    its good, but at times the words are so direct that it hits you on the face and it doesnt really give us the actual picture of what you're trying to portray.
    But there are some lines that i really liked and some lines were awesome too.
    on 10 i would give it a......................umm lets see:hmm:..................a 7 :thumbsup:
