Poems are just words, with a lot more meaning

I've written some poetry when I was younger. I was 15 and it was a couple of months after my friend had died and my English teacher set us the task of writing a poem. Mine was called "Without You" and I think maybe subconsciously I wrote it for him so he knew I was thinking of him.

For some strange reason I woke up last night and just had all these thoughts in my head and I wrote them down and stuck them in a poem. This poem is called "Dear Stranger..." and was written for a boy I knew years ago and it's basically telling him all the things I wish and should have told him but I didn't. I have always said it's the words you don't say that hurt the most.

Then I wrote another one called "Everything was perfect" and is about a man and a woman in an abusive relationship and how in the end he leaves her because he can't keep destroying her anymore. Firstly, I have never been in an abusive relationship and I hope I never will be, so I may have got this so wrong but I thought about it and wrote it down.

Um... that's it really :)
