Most of the time, I hate it. It's more of persuasive writing, and essays. I'm not a persuasive writer, I'm a creative writer.

Well, today I finally got the chance to show the teacher what I'm made of. There is a project we're doing, and part of that project is to find a poem that points to the theme of the poem we're presenting to the class. Instead of finding one, I saw the chance I had being presented before me and I wrote my own. The teacher was smiling by the end, so I thought I'd share it with you all.

I have a title, but I'm not quite satisfied with it: To Love Lost. It just gives the poem away. I need something more subtle. Something one has to think about. If you would like to, comment your suggestions below.

I go through all my memories,
I try to make some new.
But all that you have left me,
are memories of you.

Looking through our pictures,
always brings a smile.
Because being with you,
made my life worthwhile.

In my dreams you always appear,
smiling and laughing without a care.
But I know the dismal truth will be,
that you'll never really be there.

Now I must accept that you're absent,
my gifted heart's abode, now vacant.
Although, my dear you won't be gone,
'cause to me you were my only one.

Let me know what you think!
