You're so good at building blocks,
so nobody can get through to you
When I said I loved you
You thought it was a myth
You thought it was a rumour
Forever I wanted your kiss
I wanted a future
You're my Roman Empire
You're what I think of every day
You're where I hide when I don't feel safe
Right now I'm suffering a loss
A loss that will never seem to penetrate
You're so good at finding what is lost
Told you I felt saved by you
Wanna still tell you I love you
I'm sure I will at the end of this
Never was a rumour
Still craving your kiss
I still want a future
You're my Roman Empire
You're what I think of every day
You're where I hide when I don't feel safe
Right now I'm suffering a loss
A loss that will never seem to penetrate

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.

So poignant and emotional. Also, would you be entering the Villanelle challenge? You should because you're really good with using repetition in your poems!
Straight from the heart, honest feelings. Beautiful
I feel you might overwhelm her and she don’t know how she can handle the big emotions you bring out in here. Give her time and space
