The End of Romance

by Beautiful Forever   Aug 21, 2008


How many lives can I save?
How many bodies miss the grave?
How many dreams can I take away?
How many lies will make you stay?

I've tried to save you once,
But I was only a temporary bunce,
I let you fall from my grace,
Now you won't even see my face,

I've tried to turn the knife,
But I couldn't take my life,
Just one more thing you hate,
I couldn't change our fate,

We used to push toward romance,
Now it's another wasted chance,
Instead we're living in a curse,
That forces us to walk in reverse,

I still whisper words in your ear,
But nothing that you want to hear,
Because they're all one big lie,
That will refuse to let us die,

Now I've let you slip away,
As I'm forced to live another day,
The dream we once shared is shattered,
And every word I say - is tattered...

    No offence, please listen and try not to take this in a negative way, but this poem seemed to struggle from the start towards the ending stanza. It lacked enough description or imagery to keep the reader entertained, and the questions asked near the begining, weeren't the most thought provoking. You have a decent structure, but it was rocky in some points, most near the final lines of each stanza as though you weren't sure what to rhyme with. Try reading this poem aloud and writing it without wondering what word to use to rhyme, just write it out without rhyming, then with rhyming, see which one gets your point across better. Learn a more advanced vocab, not much so you're looking in a dictionary every second, just a word here or there. Try and connect to your reader, what are they interested in that you are. Word your questions to ask profound questions--and use it rarely. Ask somebody to read your poem, here their suggestions. Do not take things too negatively, they will notimrpove your writing if you refuse to understand advice. Keep writing, it's the only way to get better at it.
