Contorted Perfection

by Cotton Candy Clouds   Dec 9, 2008


You have a pull on my heart
no matter how far you are.
You make me hope that one day my life will
become that wish being carried on a shooting star.

It makes no sense for
my heart to crave you.
You're so ruthless and bitter.
But every time, right on cue.

Just a single glance
in your glistening eyes.
My stomach gets filled with clouds
and I'm walking on butterflies.

Why can't I be attracted
to someone healthy for me?
Instead, I get the
ex-convict to be.

There is no justified reason for us to
be together, besides the connection.
That's why you will always just
be my contorted perfection.

    Well, oddly enough, considering the content, this poem made me laugh. :]

    You got me and a really good mood.. which that alone you deserve props for, haha. But, now.. Down to business. :]

    Here we go...
    As for your grammar, its flawless minus one line.
    "and i'm walking on butterflies."
    "and I'm walking on butterflies."
    Err. I can understand how you could miss it, just wanted to point it out for you.

    I think it was this stanza precisely that made me laugh a bit:
    "Why can't I be attracted to
    someone healthy for me?
    Instead, I get the
    ex-convict to be."
    I'm sorry, it's just.. the wording, its just funny in my opinion, how you worded that was just great. Truly great. :]

    "It makes no sense for
    my heart to crave you.
    You're so ruthless and bitter.
    But every time, right on cue."
    Ah.. and the work starts... *sigh* Here. Let us see.. I know how you wrote this, since it works with the next stanza, it's just that.. when you write a stanza, normally the stanza is on its own, like.. say this stanza for example:
    "You have a pull on my heart
    no matter how far you are.
    You make me hope that one day my life will
    become that wish being carried on a shooting star."
    When you've finished reading it, you're not like "what is she talking about?" And on the stanza i mentioned beforehand, you are kinda left like that, it doesn't seem to work that well for me. Just so you are aware. :]

    "Why can't I be attracted to
    someone healthy for me?"
    On these two lines (now, you don't have to change this, im just pointing it out) i think it might sound a teensy bit better like so:
    "Why can't I be attracted
    to someone healthy for me?"
    Not a big change, just enough i believe. :]

    And now, i believe we have come to a close on this comment. :]
    Great job. 5/5

    This poem is absolutely fantastic.I the storyline of the poem of a girl falling for a bad boy and how you portray the things that doesn't make sense but something that you long for

    Just a single glance
    in your glistening eyes.
    My stomach gets filled with clouds
    and i'm walking on butterflies.
