Hello.  I just thought that I'd let you all know that I really enjoy reading your poems and you are all great.  This is actually a song that I wrote about a girl that I have liked for about 2 years...  Well, here it is.  Let me know what you think.

You Don't Seem To Understand

I wish that you could see
Just how much you mean to me
You say I'm just what you're looking for
I try to walk into your life but you've locked the door

I wish that you could be
The one that understands me
You see, you're just what I'm looking for
You're what keeps me wanting more and more

I've opened up my heart to you
You say that you feel the same way, too
But what you don't seem to understand
Is that I think I love you

I wish that you could understand
That my heart seems to think you're grand
You see, my heart knows just what it needs
You seem to be where my heart always seems to lead

So I've opened up my heart to you
You say that you feel the same way, too
But what you don't seem to understand
Is that I think I love you

Welcome to Passions!!!!

Unrequented love really really sucks, and there are a lot of people who can relate, myself included. You describe this well, and I hope to see more of your work in the future.

I did like this one, but I know that a well-defined flow is important in a song.  I couldn't find it here, it wasn't the worst flow I have seen but it was not exactly something that I could sing exactly.  You might want to use a bit more of a defined meter and syllable scheme.     
Welcome to Passions in Poetry.  I hope you enjoy your time here, and thanks for the compliment in the forethought.

Welcome to Passions! I hope you enjoy it  here as much as I do.
I thought this song was ok. It wasn't the best but it had a lot of love song potencial. See, most song writers use some sort of chorus.....but there are some artists who don't....radiohead tends to just write down a jumble of words and voila they got a hit......anyhow.....I felt that this had potencial. Maybe a little bit more addition to it....also some words in here seem a bit...well like a child would write it....I think you know a lot more words to fit. Remember.....a song doesn't have as much rules as a poem does. Syllables don't really matter in songs....it's the way you pronounce and the speed you sing them at. Of course along with lyrics come the actual music and that's where the tricky part comes into play.
I have some written music and lyrics and I'm still working out some kinks into a complete song.....
anyhow....nicely done.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
