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.

Wow, girl, I feel for you. Sucks when that happens, but just forget about him and try to find someone better. If you're writing poetry about your feelings and have the guts to give it to a guy you have feelings for, you deserve better.

Wow... I write suckish love poems all the time, but the OP actually had the guts to give it to them!!! In my opinion the guy she gave it to is a major jerk!!!! He obvoiusly doesn't deserve someone nice enough to write him a love poem. Or a love poem at all. Definitely a waste of creativity!!

I think he's just being insensitive. I wouldn't laugh at anyone's non-comedic poem. Especially one about deep, sensitive feelings. Could you post it for us? Or send it to me?

That's why you shouldn't fall for someone just because they look attractive enough to be the person everyone would fall for. You should fall for someone because they are that special someone who really understands you in a way no one else would.

idk what number 3 is talking about if a girl wrote me a poem I would be flattered not to mention feel wanted. I say you go girl. I say the dude was a jerk because if your showing him it your at the very least interested in the poem he could have at least pretended to like it for your case
