He used to love you before,
but not anymore.
he replaced you with your best friend,
this proves that you're love has already end.

But don't worry we say,
because you'll find "true" love one day.
maybe in an unusual way,
and you will find a way to make him pay.

Though you still love him,
the future could be dim.
when you were together he starts to forget.
later in life you will make him regret.

you want him back because of your first kiss,
but you should always remember this,
that you must do your part,
so that till death do you both part.

Was I the second choice?
Am I just second best?
Things didn't work with the first,
So you moved on to the next.
I can't help but think,
You're still in love with her.
Everything's so confusing,
Why can't it just be clear?
This game of back and forth,
Is tearing me apart,
But because I love you,
I'll just wait for you to break my heart.

I finally said it
I finally told you how I felt
I was okay to be your friend
It didn't matter that you didn't want me
The way it is, no, was, is enough.

And it hurts all over again
I've ruined everything again

Off in the distance
She chooses to stand far way
To prevent conflict

Even though we love her
We two choose to go to war
To form the right angle
The is the third version of Triangle. This revision came from the same problem with everyone being confused on its meaning. The other comment I received to make it clearer was to possibly make it longer. I took a go at doing that and this is what came out. Read the previous versions and let me know which one came out best!

Out of our love's reach
Away she will stand untouched
By the war we wage
This is the second version of Triangle. The change here was to keep it similar but make the meaning more clear since it confused many people on what the original was about. Read the original and VIII to let me know which one is best!

I wrote this really early on in my poetry career. I have been critiqued on this one a  lot so I ended up writing different versions of it. Check out VII and VIII after reading this one and let me know which one is better, please!

Step 1
Recover from the shock
let the emotion roll through your system
Breathe in and out.
Don't throw up.

Step 2
Plant a big fat smile on your face
Say I'm totally happy for you.
Wow what great news!

Don't throw up.

Step 3
Burn everything you've ever written about him.
She's your friend, she deserves more than you
You can't compete
Don't throw up

Step 4
Revert to what you're good at
Making other people happy.
Get them together
Don't throw up.

Step 5
Move on
Attempt to 'hook up' with someone
Fail miserably
Don't throw up

Step 6
Be the third wheel
And the reason why they'll be together.
Watch him pick her over you over and over.
This time, actually throw up.
It makes me sick but I know I should be supportive of her.

I almost wanna scream "I saw him first!"

You are 6 ft tall barely,
Already feeling broken,
haven't even had your first "real date."
Forgive me, I've misspoken.

You took her to a movie once,
You made her want to run,
Because she finally realised
I was the smoking gun.

I was one real reason,
bet you'd hate me if you knew.
Our newly ignited friendship?
Don't be kind, we'd be through.

Your words have too much impact,
You think things far too deep.
Your feelings have not subsided,
They haven't. Not in the least.

You say your mantra again
All thats happened, I'm above
If that is actually true,
Why do you still refer to her love?

Your heart is too invested,
I guess you're not for me.
For I was never going to accept
her seconds willingly.

Perhaps one far-off day,
When I'm comfortable with myself,
I'll remember these days,
And take my feelings off the shelf.
The angsty sarcasm is strong with this one!

You can feel my wistful and grateful looks
Following your silhouette along Boyukshor
In one of the dreamy days, we'll abruptly meet there
Very deeply I believe and I am sure.

Ah, my lake, I see you through her shiny eyes...
She loves you and I love both of you in turn.
I feel I was a bit late to love the life,
In revenge, my feelings it'll wittingly burn.
  
The last joys are shining out in a glow,
Is there a chance of constant unity?
Just virtuous Boyukshor always stands by
At least for calling up dreams of you and me

Having three lines and points of feelings,
I tried to match them from any angle.
Among me, Boyukshor and your existence,
I could not create a triangle.

Either me - standing lonely on its shore,
Or just you - wandering along by your own
And Boyukshor can't see us together just yet
One of us incessantly has to feel alone...
