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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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, 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, 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 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 was reading me a poem he wrote for me. It was beautiful, and going really well… until he read the last line, which had a girl's name in it. It wasn't my name. My boyfriend said, "Shit, wrong girl", and dug through his bag for a different poem. 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, I gave the guy I've been seeing a copy of my newly published book, because I know he loves writing. He started reading and commented on how amazing it was. Then he gave it back. He didn't realize it was a gift. My awkward self didn't correct him. I'd written him a sweet letter inside. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to confess my feelings to the guy I have loved for a year now in a long note. He called half an hour later and said, "I'm not going to read this crap, just tell me what it says". FML
Today, I spilled my guts out to my fiancé about some insecurities I've been having. I then turned to look at him through tears at his expressionless face as he texted someone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I've never met a man that either a: liked sappy poetry or was b: able to read hidden meanings. Here's a hint........ just tell him outright! .... men, they may be pirates but they're crap at reading clues.

Geez, thank God you didnt tell him the poems were for him. How embarrassing would that have been.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. (I've written poetry about guys before, but my friends that have seen it, all say it's really good.) Just ignore him. Unless you're writing stalkerish things like "I watch you sleep", etc, then it's really not creepy...find someone better. You deserve it.

Maybe he meant that he felt sorry for the guy because the guy was missing out on being with you. It could happen...

Yeah, but a lot of people don't know if they're being creepy or not. If she is, hooray wake up call. If not... holy shit girl, just tell him.

Aw... that's sad. Sad day. This is why I don't show my boyfriend my poetry, even when he asks.

You should know your boyfriend a bit better... and he should be more supportive. She's probably writing some idealized mess about this guy and being disappointed when she finds he's not what she dreamed.

my friend writes poems about me too, except theyre about how much i piss her off sometimes. i cant appreciate them, so i don't have much to say about them/am prone to insulting them. but really im envious about how well she can use language to her advantage. (im more of a math geek. :D) don't give up hope OP! but be more direct, srsly.

I agree 100%. You can either just be writing a bunch of rambled, sappy words trying to pass for what you think is poetry, or you actually have a knack and appreciative side for writing. I'm just happy they had all the kids in my school study the greats and help us each find our own writing style. And learn to write and respect poetry.

What the **** is up with your inability to type in English? anyways, like mercyFML said, FYL if they were good, well-crafted poems, and YDI if they were just lovesick sappy pieces of "I love you I want you" shit.

That really sucks, but YDI. Too much, TOO SOON.
