Torn

by Joshua Reimer   Apr 30, 2008


Narrow minded fool of love, enduring through the tries
Common misconceptions of a broader scale of lies
Broken pieces left to death, impassioned heart defies
Turning for a moments' breath to look into your eyes

I spoke my heart long ago but pleas fell on deaf ears
I felt it hard to let go; in wake I left my tears
Hopes renew with dawns pale light, though rise reluctant fears
That pain follows my hope's flight, as such has been for years

Panic curbs the faith I lack; the words can just not form
From speechlessness you turn back, again I'm left to mourn
Meager action so mundane in light of my forlorn
Though hurt, I can't refrain from that which I am torn

    The first stanza caught me off gaurd, it's really good. I like how you're using the same rhyme at the end of each sentence. However in the line 'Turning for a moments breath to look into your eyes' moments should have an apostrophe s at the end to show ownership. Sorry if I'm bugging you about these things, but to me a poem is never complete without correct grammar and puctuation. It's like the frame of a poem. You wouldn't want to put a pretty picture in a horrible frame right? Same thing here. A bad frame distracts from the pretty picture.

    That pain follows my hopes flight, as such has been for years

    hope's flight* Ownership thing again.

    This poem is kick ass. The vocabulary you used was great and the rhyming was just fine. You stuck to your theme of having the same rhyme for each stanza, and the metaphors got the point across. Good job.

    *another perfect stanza, eveything is well written and makes me feel what your feeling*
