A beautiful girl in a world so cold
A boy in a new place
They both feel so old
The girl sees a new face
In public they kiss
A trap has fallen
The boy nervous he might miss
His heart has been stolen
The boy falls in lust
The girl sees her chance
He gave her his trust
Her lies pierced his heart like a lance
The fights
The anger
They last all night
Increasing the danger
New friends
Jealousy arises
Happiness never ends
Demons come in all shapes and sizes
A lie so bold
The boy believes
A truth never told
Another girl greaves
Flashing light
Hurried breath
Terrifying night
Impending death
He wants to leave
She begs him to stay
She can’t believe
It turned out this way

I hope you feel better. Maybe if you feel stuck then an interesting idea for a poem might be on the theme of escape like a bird leaving its cage? Just a thought. Hope you are doing alright
Iambic pentameter.
Shakespearean sonnet, not a bad idea
You could look around the place you’re in and find an one thing, like a mirror or radiator or hand, and use it as a metaphor to guide a poem.
I like it. But you left us with a cliffhanger – how does it end?
lovely.
Even lovelier given your most recent post.
