This poem is about first love and first heartbreak. This isn't my favorite, but I wanted to share it to get feedback on it. I feel that it's easier to write sad poems, so I want to get better at writing happier ones. Feel free to leave a comment telling me how to improve!
it was summer when i first saw him
green eyes that glistened with an intensity i'd never known
curly hair that i wanted to loop-de-loop like the lace of my shoes
i take a step in his direction then rethink
he sees me falter and approaches instead, leaving his friends behind
a simple "hey" makes my heart spin round and round, like a ferris wheel
that smile, with those perfect teeth, had me swooning
the first words came and went
and so did the night
i went home, on top of the world
i lie on my bed, dreaming about everything that was said
maxwell was his name
"but call me max"
summer came and went
delightfully passing the time with him
school is around the corner
will everything be the same?
i search for answers in his eyes, but they're never looking in my direction
i feel myself drift from him, like a lonely iceberg in a lonely sea
there he is, one leg on the lockers, one on the ground
he was cool and casual at the same time
i pass by to see what he'll do
those green eyes that i once thought were so beautiful, glazed over my body
and then looked away
