I would give her my heart, my soul.
I would worship the ground she walks on,
As well as the feet that do the walking.
I would give her all the treasures
Hidden in the sea.
I would learn how to make sonnets
So astonishing that would make
Shakespeare himself hang his head in shame.
I would steal Van Gough’s and Picasso’s for her.
I would go to the gym and mold my body
Into any form that will please her eye.
I would give her every cliché she could ask for.

…but all she wants is for us to be friends, or worse,
To her I don’t exist.
One of the three poems I worked on for a creative writing class in college. It is copyrighted to me. Constructive criticism is appreciated.

maybe you could continue on with the "I would's..." simply making the poem longer and more percise. The ending however, it too the point. Good work!
