Oh he'd date you he said,
But I guess he's talking to a prettier girl.
A prettier girl.

 

Do you have deep conversations about life and religion like you do with me,
With the prettier girl?

 

Do my ice blue and green eyes not put your head in a whirl,
Like the prettier girl?
 

Do your light brown eyes make the whole world stop,
For the prettier girl?

 

"She's so pretty,
I'll text her even if she won't reply,"
You spew from the lips beneath your brown eyes.

 

Speak in tongues,
Make my spine tingle.
I guess only cigarettes,
Give you excuses to mingle.

That happened to one of my stories! I typed in the title as "Aaron's Backpack". But when I looked and saw it had been posted online it had that thing instead with the combination of numbers and symbols. I think there's a problem when you use apostrophes in the titles. They really should fix it. :/ I really loved your poem!It was beautiful. Great job.

weird, I typed " I & # 3 9 ; l l " without spaces to say that is how "I'll" is showing up in the comment, and after it posted it looked normal? Is there something wrong with this site?

I don't know why, but when I submitted this the title was "I'll never be the pretty girl" and now it's showing up published as "I'll". That is very disrespectful to my work. I would never submit anything with a title like that, how can I talk to the editors? This is atrocious.

True.... some guys just go for the outer looks, this makes me feel like downing a knife down their throats but seems like you've taken a noble approach... gotta learn something from you there. Keep Writing, loved this one.
