Today’s poetry challenge: Write gangster sad love poems.
Writing about something that you have no experience with or no nothing about is a great way to push your boundaries and creativity as a writer. Everybody in their lifetime at least once will feel that feeling of sad love where someone doesn’t love you like you love them, or you can’t be together, or maybe something sad happened that made you cry. Writing about it from a different perspective or point of view can help you better yourself as a poetry writer. Sure, you might feel a little awkward about it, but it really will give you some inspiration, we promise.
A gangster is a member in a gang of criminals. Think about the classic musical of the West Side Story – the somewhat modern take on classic Romeo and Juliet, the star crossed lovers were members of different gangs. Or you could try writing the poem from the perspective of a character in the movie the Godfather. Have fun with it!
Here are a few examples to get you started – but don’t hesitate to do something completely different, too!
Division
In the neighborhood
in the streets
in the eyes of the devil
in the sleep
I see an angel
I see her lips
she whispers honey
She’s from the other side
if she only knew what it’s like
she’d be terrified
There’s a division between us
it is an imaginary line
I can’t tell you why it’s there
but it’s been there for a really long time
They say this angel
they say she’s no good for me
afraid to stand up and say
i’m too good for this
in the neighborhood of darkness
behind the sun and moon
there’s love waiting for us
but it must just be too soon
we can’t be together
until we find peace
Tell Mama
tell my mama i’m in love with a gangster
tell my mama that it’s too late now
ain’t nothing I can say to convince her
that falling for a gangster can work out
he’s gonna by me diamond rings
he’s gonna quit once he gets me everything
tell my mama i’m moving out
tell her I’m pregnant now
tell my mama it’s a baby boy
he’s gonna get it when he gets home
ain’t seen him in days leaving us all alone
tell my mama i’ve been missing her
tell my mama should’ve listened to her
tell my mama i’m coming home

Gangster he was
Gangster he knew
A broke heart
What Couldn’t Be Hole
Be Cause gangsters Don’t Fall
In love So he was told .
But why did This girl made him Feel

No No No gangsters Don’t Fall In Love
My Mind Keep yelling Over My heart
Gangsters are on there own

Be-cause My Heart Right

HYNAS YOU GONNA BE WITH A GANGSTER YOU BEST BELIEVE YOUR GONNA GET UR HEARTBROKEN THERE GONNA LEAVE YOU PREGNANT AND NOT BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU BUT BECAUSE HE WANT TO KEEP COMING BACK TO YOU FOR ONE THING HAHA SERIO I KNOW WAS UP A GANGSTER JUST CARES ABOUT BANGING THE HOOD, HIS HOMIES COME FIRST BEING WITH ALL THE HOODRATS I KNOW WAS UP BECAUSE IM A CHOLA FROM A VARRIO AND I SEE MY HOMIES DO WAT THEY DO AND I HAD SO MANY VATOS THAT BE TREATING ME LIKE SHIT,CHEATING AND LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING =AND EVEN THOUGH ITS HARD TO LET IT GO I TOLD THEM I DONT HAVE TIME FOR LIL GAMES YOU CAN SAVE IT FOR THEM LAMES YOU WANNA BE WITH A GANGSTER YOU WANNA LIVE THAT CARZY LIFE BE PREPEARED FOR NOTHING BUT TEARS HEARTBREAK BROKEN PROMISES
S o there’s a lonley road from where i have walked and through out it felt like my life outlined in chalked till i met you my sweet gangster boo… I thought by you the stars did shine brighter, by you my smile was wider, No more tears to shed… Said you’d always be there and i followed my brain instead… A nd i lost you no doubt it hurt you so much you wouldn’t come back all because it was love that i lacked….
It’s sad to know that WE could never be, So hard to resist the feeling we get when we’re together, And the only way i could explain my feelings for you is in this letter…. Remeber that time you held my hand tight you said everything was aight, That day you said we’ll be together somehow and you’ll get us back together…yet you didn’t know how…, And every time you held me close and you said it was what existed between us… I still remeber the touch of your hands… The warm feeling that ran through my vains, What we had was somthing i had’t experienced before…. I’m just so sorry to have closed the door, T o have pushed you away because i was to scared, You made it so hard to try to leg go, I still haven’t just to let you know… I miss it back when we where all together but now i don’t know and have to deal with the pain of having to lose you and see you with her…Each and every day….
(This was somthing that i felt and i had to let it out and if one day YOU read this just know…that i still wish i could be with you…)
**=IN MY OWN WORDS = **
LOVING A GANGSTER IS EASY LETTING GO IS HARD HE TELLS ME HE LOVES ME BUT YET THEN LIES ND CHEATS HE WANTS TO HAVE A BABY TO KEEP ME AROUND I ALREADY GAVE UP EVERYTHING FOR HIM BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY I ASK MYSELF IF HE WORTH IT ME DOING THIS EVERY DAY I WAKE UP WORRIED TO KNOW IF HE OK BUT HE JUST A FOOL BECAUSE HE CAN LOOSE HIS LIFE OVER SENCLESS THINGS HE A FOOL TO LOOSE TWICE ND START ALL OVER AGAIN BUT I SAY DONT TRIP I WONT LET GO BECAUSE WE BOTH GROWING UP IN THE VARRIO….
in love with a gangster he said he love me but is it truu?? he say im da one for him but am i really?? he played lots of games and hurts lots of girls so he recalls… i’ve neva been in love with a gangster dis is my first time in trully in love with a “G”.. da parents dont understand && he don’t kno wat i go trough jus for him i neva let him kno how i feel for him cus he might say he love me dat he’ll always b faithful to me dat ima b his babiies momma dat he’s da one for me and im da one for him but tru he’s a ganster && any day he can play on me like he’s done it before && ima stay der with a broken heart but instead ima b hard && leave with my chin up high makin him think i didn’t care one bit…!

i feel in mi cora that we were meant to be
forever it was supposed to be u n me
i thought i loved u
so i stuck round
thought we were standing up straight with our 2 feet planted firm on the ground
silly me too think you would change
even after 2 beautiful sons u r still same
i hoped and prayed it would get better
but it never did
ima pack my shit nd take the kids
i dont deserve this
i never did
u beat me and i stand by you
but only for my kids
i tried to make it work but your only a g
try to get angry but im scared to leave
the only way out is in a box
i remeber thats what you told me
now i got hard gangsta love
waiting too be set free
everybody sees u n then they c me
two latin kids who grew up in the street
im 17 and ur 22
but people would have never guessed
that i feel in love with you
all they see is colors
never really the pain
it broke my heart when decided too be in a gang
you used too be my sunshine
when i was in the mist of the rain
but now its like your the reason
why my heart is full of pain
i stay at home with kids
your out being stupid hittin licks
with your homeboys rather
than your kids
i confront u
and all u can say is
babe thats how it is
weve been together for 4 years
thought it was you and me
but now i realize its not meant too be
your a gangsta
and im your girl
my sons need there father
not another dead cholo
whose left the world
im sorry that your in pain
but now you know how i feel
every damn day
u never trusted me
well i never trusted you
im sorry to say but
on the inside im heartless too
maybe i should give up
and be a gangsta just like you
