I.
Once I was happy.
And now?
Now I’m giddy.
I was content to be single.
Really. And then
You
dropped into my life with
a resonant kerSPLUNK:
A bowling ball in the middle
of my pond.
*sigh*
Once I was happy.
II.
*sigh*
*sigh*
*sigh*
I’ve got butterflies.
Pink ones.
And red ones.
And a few blue (your favorite color...).
When will I see you again?
III.
Fine.
Don’t call for all
I care.
You
think I’ll miss you? Pffff! Like
I care.
Go
jump off a cliff! See if
I care.
The
only problem is...
...
IV.
Once I was happy.
And now?
I
feel
a little
empty.
But
I know better now.
Thanks to
You.
Disclaimer: Contrary to popular belief, I did not write this poem about a particular boy. Think of it more as some musings on relationships gone sour.

Very nice. I like "a resonant kerSPLUNK," and I love the line breaks in part III.
Thanks for posting!
Yeah part III is good. i recently wrote a poem about a relationship gone sour, but it WAS about a boy in particular. :) Ah, boys....So inspiring, and sometimes that's it.
So you will be coming tonight to give a live reading, right?
Good work!
I really like this one. :D especially the "I care" part. I filled it in as I read - "the only problem is... i care." Very clever!!! :)
