"I'm wrapped in your love."
By: Savanna
Age 16
Harvey,LA
7/13/2008
I feel you in the morning,
When i first awake.
Your thought is with me each decision i make.
You have been around ever since the first breath i did take.
Now i have to go on alone for love,
I need not look.
By what you bestowed on me
the short time we had together will last in my heart forever and ever.
Although you have left and know you walk above.
I'm never alone.
I'm wrapped in your love.

"The lost dream of love"
By: Reica
Age 16
Dover,DE
6/22/2008
The dream begins as you open the door,
the wonderful feeling to strong to ignore.
Do you remeber?,
Are you feeling it to?,
are you also wondering what to do?
Not knowing what to say,
please speak first, I pray.
Remembering all the promises and lies,
remebering all the hurt that never dies.
The words i dare not say are flooding me,
the real you i never did see.
You swore to me you would never let go,
how the hell was i sopposed to know.
Nothing you said was ever true,
you still don't realize you make me blue.
How hurtful it is to finally see,
that even now you still don't understand me!

"untitled"
By: Zshmara
Age 15
Greenville,AL

I cant believe that you would just,
Bail out on me like a punk,
Never thought you would just leave a relationship,
And just give up;
You listen to your friends,
Who did the job to set us up,
Now those same friends are here,
Trying to break us up;
It's just...without you,
I feel so sad,
When you're not by my side,
My heart hurts so bad;
So for me it would be crazy,
To sit back and let what happened be,
I plan to fullfill this relationship,
And give it all what it needs;
Yeah I might have to make some sacrifises,
And do some things I dont plan to do,
But it don't matter because,
The only thing I want is you
