• A Heart is not a plaything,
• a heart is not a toy,
• but if you want it broken,
• just give it to a boy.
• Boys like to play with things,
• to see what makes them run,
• but when it comes to kissing,
• they do it just for fun.
• Boys don't give their hearts away
• they play us girls like fools
• wait until we give our hearts away
• and then they play it kewl.
• You'll wonder where he is at night,
• you'll wonder if he's true,
• one moment you'll be happy,
• the next you'll be blue.
• When you get a chance to see him,
• your heart begins to dance,
• your life revolves around him,
• there's nothing like romance.
• When it starts to happen,
• you'll worry day and night,
• you see my friend your loosing him,
• it never turns out right.
• Boys are great,though immature,
• the price you pay is high,
• he may seem sweet and gorgeous,
• but remember he's a guy.
• Don't fall in love with just a boy,
• that takes a lot of nerve,
• what you need is a man,
• to get what you deserve.
• so when you think it's happening,
• be careful if you can,
• before you give your heart away
• make sure that he's a man!!

This poems for all the girls out there.Remember to be careful and guard your heart. Cause some guys out there are just jerks.And I learned that the hard way.But now I have a wonderful guy who loves me alot and I love him too.

• When trouble comes your soul to try
• You love the friend who just stands by.
• Perhaps there's nothing he can do;
• The thing is strictly up to you,
• For these are troubles all your own,
• And paths the soul must tread alone;
• Times when love can't smooth the road,
• Nor friendship lift the heavy load.
• But just to feel you have a friend,
• Who will stand by until the end;
• Whose sympathy through all endures,
• Whose warm handclasp is always yours,
• It helps somehow to pull you through
• Although there's nothing he can do;
• And so with fervent heart we cry,
• "God bless the friend who just stands by."

By: John Oxenham

• Long the road,
•    Till love came down it!
• Dark the life,
•    Till love did crown it!
• Dark the life,
•    And long the road,
• Till love came
•    To share the load!
• For the touch  
•    Of love transfigures
• All the road
•     And all its rigours.
• Life and death,
• Love's touch transfigures.
• Life and death,
•     And all that lies
• In between
• Love sanctifies.
• Once the heavenly spark is lighted,
• Once in love two hearts united,
• Nevermore
•     Shall aught that was be
• As before.

Those We Love           By: Ella Wheeler Wilcox

• They say the world is round, and yet
•    I often think it's square;
• So many little hurts we get
•    From corners here and there.
• There's one truth in life I've found
•    While journeying east and west,
• The only folk we really wound
•    Are those we love the best.
• The choices garb, the sweetest grace,
•    Are oft to strangers shown;
• The careless word, the frowning face,
•    Are given to our own.
• We flatter those we scarcely know,
•    We please the fleeting guest,
• And deal full many a thoughtless blow
•    To those we love the best.

A Boyfriend         By: Jessica "Thuong" Nguyen

• What is a boyfriend?
• A boyfriend is someone who loves you,
• And is there for you no matter what you do.
• A boyfriend is someone who cares,
• A guy like that is very rare.
• A boyfriend is someone you can talk to,
• And listen to your problems and comfort you.
• A boyfriend is someone you can cry to when you're sad,
• And because he loves you, would put up with you even when you're mad.
• A boyfriend is someone who will protect you in times of trouble,
• And through the years your love will double.
• A boyfriend is someone you can hold on the lonely nights,
• And on the cold nights you can snuggle up and hold each other tight.
• A boyfriend is someone you can kiss on the New Years countdown,
• You know you'll never let go of the one you found.
• A boyfriend- the love of your life.

Set Me Free         By: Chrissy M.

• Hold my hands and lead the way,
• Tell me all you want to say,
• Whisper softly in my ear all things I wanna hear,
• Kiss my lips and touch my skin,
• Bring out passions deep within,
• Hold me close keep me near,
• Take away my pain and fear,
• Give me wings so I can fly,
• So I can soar when you're nearby,
• Enter my heart,
• Break down the wall,
• It's time for me to see them fall,
• Break my chains and set me free

• Moving on
• I close my eyes but the tears still fall,
• Trying to hide myself in the shadows, away from it all.
• The pain doesn't seem worth it anymore,
• I'm sick of being hurt, my heart has tore.
• No one seems to notice, no one seems to care,
• I'm done wasting my time, wishing you were there.
• I'm giving up on you, I'm giving up on love.
• Nothing's changing my mind, I'm throwing down the glove.
• When I think of love, mistakes come to mind.
• It doesn't matter now, I'm leaving you and
• everything else
• BEHIND
