My heart was a flutter
now it just ain't moving
You were the first for me
and I can't imagine my life
where I'm with anyone but you
There are songs in my head
and as I sing along to the lyrics
I remember that you are my
the meaning behind the notes
and everlasting melodies
I don't remember the
taste of your lips
you are the taste
of my own that
miss our tender kiss
You're the whisper
in my ears
when nobody is there
the soft voice that
expresses my fears
You are my muse
my constant inspiration
you empower my words
embolden my dreams
and awaken my thoughts
When I fall asleep at night
you are the toss and the turn
my restlessness in my dreaming
and the cold sweat on my skin
cause in my sleep, for you, I yearn
I think, but it is bitter
you are the cynical line
that is deep set in my smile
the arrogant tones I may speak
and the mask of my insecurity
But you're still the
smile on my face
the antidote to my
extraordinary head-case
your happyness left a trace
You're the joy in my day
the sun that never goes away
sweet, tender words that I say
friendly greeting that I pay
you are my calm and my okay
You're the wind racing past
blown away way too fast
you were once meant to last
but right now, you are something
that I just cannot seem to catch
You are the hop
in my every step
the inquisitive look
and all of my
waning desires
we've been away
for six months now
I kissed you first
a whole year ago
but I want to know how
you've been able to
leave such a mark on
my enclosed heart
how you've known me
better than myself
I know you've got other guys
and I'm no longer on your mind
and that we've almost no ties
they think I'm just a fool
but I'm still hung up on you...

- Hmm. This poem is very honest, and it has some shining moments. But it's kind of inconsistent - the rhyme scheme and the style change throughout. Sometimes, you lose coherency and beauty for the sake of rhyming, and I would prefer you didn't. I think it needs a little pruning, but otherwise, quite good. ^^
