About the Poem

This poem was written for someone who treats people badly, who uses them as if they were some toy, or cheap object. It's about the pain and loss of self esteem that goes along with being treated in such a way. It's also about the love that someone can have for another, even when the other doesn't care enough to even try.

Flavor Of The Day

by Jenni

Here you come,
creeping back in.
Inside your ever-changing tastes,
once again, I'm the flavor of the day.
Are we still the same?
Now I'm burning in vain.
I gave you too many chances,
and you left me standing alone in the rain.
I loved you too much,
and then I learned it wasn't worth the pain
I brought down on myself.
I still love you so very much,
and here I am,
the flavor of the day,
melting alone in the rain.

GAWR the poem was amazing its like you can love and hate someone at the same time. and no matter how much you care for them they will never appreciate it. you feel like everyday they feel something different about you. and no matter how bad they've done you can never stop loving them. i feel like im never going to stop loving my ex bf.

I'm feeling this. I don't understand why some people think of others as their variety of icecream or candy on any given day!

This poem touched me because I have a problem. I'm in love with a boy named Martez but his real name is Fernando. I tell him everyday that I love him so much. I know that he love me, but he won't admit it around his friends. He will only admit it over the phone. I just love him. I try to get him to be my boyfriend but it seems that he only wants to make me jealous by hugging up on a gurl. When he see me with a boy he get really mad, but yet he don't want to go with me. I love him so much but I can't wait for him. The fact is we both crazy about each other like we both have out hearts connected, but we seem so seperated.

that poem just speaks my mind. to the author: i really know how you felt like when you wrote this- this feeling is what i've been crying for the whole day today and still i know: if he'd be right here& i'd be the flavour of the day . i couldn't refuse.

I kind of feel like one of the many flavors of the day when it comes to my situation. What can you do when when you love someone so much and the only part of them that loves you back is the child that he left you with?

I've felt the pains of love and guilt and I know how much it hurts to love someone and for them to use you till there's nothing left not even dignity.
