Need Love?
See it but never feel it.
Get close, only to push it away.
“Don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone”
Epitome of my life.
What is wrong with me?
What makes me so un-lovable?
Can someone remove this defective sign from my forehead,
And replace it with a kiss.
I want more than mediocre.
I want someone to miss.
Do I ask for too much?
Are my requirements unachievable?
My heart remains unconquered, unattained.
I’m tired of fairy tale endings,
Silly thoughts put in my head by unrealistic, but hopelessly believable movies.
They are all the same.
Girl meets boy. Girl messes it up. Boy forgives girl.
Happily Ever After.
At least they let on that relationships have problems.
I want raw, unrelenting love.
The real deal.
No movie, novel, or episode of “Sex and the City” could ever touch.
Left alone, drowning in thoughts,
Who else in the world could need love,
Like I need love?

Hey, I was wondering if I could use this poem. Of course I would give all the rights of the poem to you and make sure you are given credit for it. But my friend and I are making a movie and this fits in perfectly so I was just wondering if I could use it?
Thank you(:
This poem really tells what most girls want and need....i mean it speaks truth
No, I didn't think that's what you said. I was actually talking about the author of this poem..it's all good. But yeah, I'm usually the one to push love away because I'm fearful or too independent or scared or something of that nature...it's tough, and I'm working through how to open up myself more to people so they can love me for who I REALLY am.
Is the lyric "don't know what you've got til it's gone" from Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell?
I absoluely love that song!
Your poem is fantastic, I really like the way you capture your feelings so efficiently!
