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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

Am I the only one who thinks it's creepy to show a guy a bunch of unsolicited love poems about him?

You deserve it for writing poetry, and then thinking it can win a man over. Men don't care about poetry.

Let me let you in on a little secret. Men hate poetry, and don't care about love. We just want to screw you in the ass and pretend we love you. =D

My friend does the same thing. It always backfires. I'm sorry but that is the sort of thing you keep private. Seduce someone another way, where they don't feel like you're thinking about them non-stop. :-/

You deserved it for being such a creep-out. So you were surprised he didn't like your notebook-shaped obsessive shrine? Whatever happened to asking people on dates?

If you wrote a whole book of poems just for one person, I would feel sorry for them too, because that sounds really creepy.

who writes poems anymore? we usually just tell our feelings to people. that way something awkward doesnt happen like that

I was talking to mate on msn once (we're both girls btw), and she asked me how my love life was going and I said, ''lol you know my love life doesn't exist'' and she sent me this poem which was kind of cool but kind of a downer and I replied to it, ''I don't mean to sound cynical but that sounds like it was written by some girl who can't get a date, feels sorry for herself, and then wrote a poem about it making guys seem like the ones who are missing out'' and JUST as I hit ''Enter'' another message from her pops up saying, ''tis about you''. So I'm like, ''Oops shit..'' and she's like, ''Shit sorry...'' It was a bit awkward lol. The moral of the story - KEEP YOUR POETRY TO YOURSELF :P
