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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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, 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
Today, my boyfriend wrote me a long poem that ended with, "Please don't get another mister / I regret I screwed your sister". FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a poem saying "Roses are red, violets are blue, rubbish is dumped and so are you." 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, 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 wrote my boyfriend a poem, and left it on the bed with a rose for him to see after work. When I came home later, I noticed the flower in the trash, and the poem had been used as gum wrapper. FML
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 boyfriend of two years, who is a fabulous guitarist and singer, told me he wrote me a song. I was so excited. Turns out it was a break up song. FML

There could be a couple of different angles here: 1) OP is right and it is recycled. 2) OP is crazy and looking for something to validate her insecurities. 3) OP's boyfriend is trying to get rid of her and did it on purpose hoping she would notice (see #2). 4) Something else I didn't think of. 5) All of the above. 6) None of the above.

tee hee hee win. this was very entertaining to read ;3 but she doesn't have very much to complain about, if her boyfriend was the retard from the "icey slope" fml, then she'd be crumpled up in some imbecile's car. at least she can say she's alive. second hand poem is better than no poem.

Im wondering what the name of his ex is. If it was, say, Mary, or something by the style, now that would be an easy coincidence. But yeah, woudln't be the first case of recycled creativity a man has done, in particular if its worked before. If its proven to work, why change it =? tehehe.

I still think it would be a HUGE coincidence that not only would the first letters spell a name, but that name would just happen to be that of his ex. That said, unless OP's boyfriend is an absolute ******* moron, he probably didn't give you his ex's poem by accident. He's probably one of those cowards that want to break up with you but are too afraid, so make you do it. And since the choice is between that and absolute ******* moron, I wouldn't get too beat up about losing him.

To all you dumbasses who say straight guys and poetry shouldn't go together... That's ridiculous all music lyrics are just poems put to music...and there are PLENTY of very talented male straight song writers!
