POEM STARTER

Write a poem about the theme of deal breakers.

In Your Eyes

When we first met,

We made a deal,

That we would always be there for eachother,

The normal works.


I was in the void,

But you were there too,

So we could cry together.


But I’ve left the void now.

And now,

You’ve broken our deal.


We said we’d be there for the good and the bad.

But you only like me when you can be better.

Always the savior,

never the cheerleader.

Ironic, since you really are a school cheerleader.

I should have seen it coming.


We made a deal that we’d be there for eachother,

And you’re still here physically,

But not in the sense of mindset.

Your compliments are backhanded

Leaving me stranded,

On this island.


I know I’ll have to be the one to leave,

And I know I’m the one in the right.


But somehow in the end,

I’ll be the villain in your story.


Even though you launched the first attack,

Breaking our sacred deal,

I’ll still be the villain in your eyes.
