Love's Curfew

by Lori   Jul 19, 2008


I was so speechless
My mind drowning in dismay
I never wanted you to leave
I was still pondering what to say

I never did cry for you
Or tell you exactly how I feel
Something was holding me back
I truly meant to be real

I didn't think you would leave
I was blind until it dawned
I said you were a waste
And then you were gone

I get that you were scared
I couldn't feel it's meaning to you
My mind was so unprepared
I didn't know love had a curfew

We've both made our very own mistakes
There's just oh, so many to be counted
Most of mine, I can successfully fake
With that, nothing can ever be amounted

Sometimes the answer to love is a break
Leaving is the answer for what we brew
I will try not to miss you for only your sake
Now is the time to answer love's curfew

    First off, the title is nice. :)

    In this piece I thought your word choice was better. Your rhyming was nice again, but what I found to be lacking was your flow. But adding or taking out a couple of small words you will find your poem to such much better.

    If you're not sure if your flow is okay or not, try reading it out loud. You'll hear the flow better than if you just read it in your mind.

    My honest critique: 4/5

    That is a powerful strong end.
    The rest of this i enjoyed. It was sad, but like there was some hope after all.
    Wonderful!

    This was a really beautiful poem,
    i loved reading every word.
    the pain of a broken relationship was shown so clearly through it.
    The power of love is so strong that sometimes we as humans cant actually control its outcome but we can try and do our best to make it
    a good one.
    I loved this poem, it was a wonderful write,
    great job!!! keep it up
