English GCSE coursework (poem).

Tell me what you think, it's part of my coursework :p:


Dedicated to a girl named Andzela. <3

I look around me, see couples
Falling out of love
Breaking up
Moving on
Pretending
That they don't care about each other
Anymore.

What a lie- I know
What's truly on their minds
Let's be free, they think
Let's not be us
Just you and then
There's me.

Everyone wants to play
Party- look away
From how they really feel
What they really want to say
I know
There are still "I love you"s
Backed up, ready, bursting, shushed.

I look around me and think
Am I so wrong
To want to stay
With my lover for longer?
To want to work hard
And someday be together
Her in my arms again- I will wait
For her.
Am I different?

Is our love stronger?
Are we stupid? Or rather,
Are we smarter?
Why give up something so great
So beautiful, rare- fate
Why throw it away?

All relationships that end
With a selfish need
To be free- of "constraints"-
Were meant to last, I think.
But me, I hold hope
I stand true to my woman,
Stand by her
Hand in hand
Until someday, when we
Will finally be sitting on our porch
Watching the sunset- coffee mugs
But filled with tea
Laughing, talking, remembering the days
When we chose to fight
For each other- To stay together
To Love only one another.
Because I will stand true to my woman.
I will take my chance with fate,
I will show the world
That you can be free
Even when your heart belongs
To a lover.

Thanks :smile:
