Poem one

Can love be true I ask myself again and again
I don't know but I know it costs pain
So I ask myself again
Is it worth all that pain?
Well me I don't know
But I don't really hope so
I wish it can be easy for people who are in love
But again I don't know it might be from above
Your heart can feel sorrow
Or maybe a bit narrow
But still me, how can I be the one to see
I am still young they say to me
But again I don't know I am just too slow
I have to have an answer I know
But I can't be narrow
I am not very shallow
This is me
Now you see
I hope I can be in love to see
I can have my love in me

Poem two

Love can be harmless is that true
You can believe what they're telling you
I try to believe them
But I cannot deceive them
If it's true what can I do
Can I ask you
I hope I can do
I hope I try
To believe a bit high
