Today, I wrote a poem for this guy I am falling for. Before telling him that I wrote it, he read it and then laughed at how "corny and stupid" it was because he would "never date someone who could come up with something that lame." The poem was about how vulnerable he makes me feel. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my boyfriend asked me to write him a poem, as I am an avid writer. Happily, I agreed. After hours of working, I proudly presented it to him. He read it, laughed, and said, "No babe, I meant a real poem." Maybe I should rethink my career choice. FML
Today, my friend, on whom I have a crush since I can remember, read the most beautiful poem to me, which he'd written himself. After reading it, he said that it was for a girl he likes, and asked me if it was good. FML
Today, I spilled my heart out to a guy by showing him one of my poetry journals. He read through it and said, "Wow, I feel sorry for the guy you wrote about." The poems were all about how I loved him. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a really sweet poem that he wrote for me. I think it was secondhand - the first letter of each verse spelled his ex girlfriend's name. FML
Today, my boyfriend wrote me poetry. Here's how it went: "Roses are red, violets are blue, I suck at poetry, show me your tits." That's the most romantic thing he's done for me. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me if we were going to become "that stupid couple that sings cheesy songs to each other." I just spent the past 3 months writing the perfect song that I was planning on singing to him tonight. FML
Today, the person I've been trying so hard to get with wrote me a beautiful poem that almost everyone at my school saw and liked. It was about how we'd never be together. FML
Today, my boyfriend came across an old poem I wrote. I like to write horror stuff, but he was disturbed, called it “silly” and “sad”, and said he didn’t want to have a girlfriend who thinks about stuff like that. I'm now discouraged from becoming a writer. FML
Today, my boyfriend wrote a song for me. As he was singing it to me I realized it was actually a breakup song. FML
Today, I received the sweetest love letter from my boyfriend after having a bad day. After gushing about it and reading it to my friends, they said it reminded them of a letter that they'd seen online. He got it from a fill-in-the-blank love letter generator. FML

It's cool that you had the guts to gave him a poem you wrote yourself, but you really shouldn't write about how vulnerable someone makes you feel. And they're a little overdone, making them even more corny. Not everyone appreciates poetry though.

Gotta wonder what the hell made you think that a guy would fall for you over a poem, much less one about how vulnerable the dude makes you feel. Those kinds of messages tend to make dudes run for the hills while they still can.

That sucks, but it does work better if you know the guy likes poetry. If he talked about 'never dating someone' he probably knew it was from you, though, and FYL.

Hang onto the poem anyway. It's more important for you to have it than for anyone else to appreciate it. Also, have you ever seen The Rock? (Nick Cage, Sean Connery) You know where he rants about how it would be just horrible to bring a child into this screwed-up world, then she tells him she's pregnant and he completely reverses? She calls him on it and he says, "Well, gosh! Kind of a lot's happened since then!" He might change his tune once he knows it's about HIM, and YOU. It's easy to mouth off about other people (for reference, see this site!), but when it's YOU... *hugs* anyway. Sorry you got stomped on.

What a jerk. Not all guys appreciate poetry, though... and maybe it wasn't that good... but still if he said that sort of stuff he's OBVIOUSLY not meant for you. The guy who was meant for you would probably think it was sweet or something
