Heres a poem I made, please tell me what you honestly think of it even if what you have to say isnt kind. roses are red violets are blue I don't sleep at night cause I'm thinking of you.
I can't stop even though I try to.
roses are red. My love for you is strong.
I Have to see you even if it's not for long.
roses are red please say you feel the same if you don't I'll want to cry in the rain.
I will love you always even if you don't feel the same.
roses are red why do I feel this pain I can't live without you my life is slowly being drained.
