Poem--doesn't have a name yet

Well....It's been awhile since I've written poetry, so I'm a little rusty.


I feel my heart racing faster
and the smile that you give me
makes me feel warm.
I know that you can see
that I am head over heals for you.

It seems too good to be true.
You whispers of love and promises of always
My mind begins to unwind
I can't keep track of time.
Because I am head over heals for you.

I want to do dance,
you shake you head no and laugh,
but don't give my idea a chance.
I am helpless against your ways,
All because I was head over heels for you.

You give me a list of things to say,
ways to act and things to do.
I feel myself begin to drown,
powerless to bring myself to the surface,
All because I was head over heels for you.

No longer myself,
You had changed me into somebody else.
You said I was better, I didn't need the old me
And I didn't even try to fight it,
All because I was head over heels for you.

Slowly you start to pull away,
less time with me,
fewer calls, and less "I love you's"
I begin to fear you will not stay,
All because I am head of heals for you

You look deep into me eyes
and promise nothing is wrong,
and say you miss me and apologize,
it hurt when you lied, but I held my doubt inside
All because I was head over heels for you.

You told me you wanted me forever
that you would always stand my guard
You held my heart in your hand
And I never took a stand,
All because I was head over heels for you.

One day you sat me down,
there was no one else around,
You couldn't even look at me,
It was as if you didn't wish to see,
that I was head over heels for you

My heart began to shatter,
when you told me what was the matter.
"You will never be good enough."
And you gave me the reasons why
I hadn't the strength to cry.

The promises you made were broken
Everything you ever said was a lie.
You said you no longer wanted to be by my side.
I just wanted to say;
I'm no longer head over heels for you.
