Fade

by No Need For A Name   Dec 27, 2008


From the moment
That the lights went down
I felt my heart beat
In time with your sound

And from the moment
That you careened in my dreams
I felt my breathe shake
With all the possibilities

But at the edge of time
The sound of seconds
Is enough to deafen
And at the edge of the world
The light of the sun
Shines down on everyone
And I won't let you fade

The sky darkens
The stars flicker overhead
Eyes and shadows
Make me lie awake in bed

You're glowing twilight
Making the world shake
Skin soft and smooth
A chance I'm willing to take

But at the edge of time
The sound of seconds
Is enough to deafen
And at the edge of the world
The light of the sun
Shines down on everyone
And I won't let you fade

And I won't let you fade
And I won't let you fade
And I won't let you fade
Into the background of the day
And I won't let you fade
And I won't let you fade
And I won't let you fade
Your beauty I will save

But at the edge of time
The sound of seconds
Is enough to deafen
And at the edge of the world
The light of the sun
Shines down on everyone
Baby don't fade

    "I felt my breathe shake"
    `breath.

    "But at the edge of time
    The sound of seconds
    Is enough to deafen
    And at the edge of the world
    The light of the sun
    Shines down on everyone
    And I won't let you fade"
    `I'll be honest, I dont like the transition from 4 to 7 lines here.. it doesnt help the flow one bit. It kind of messes it up to be honest with ya.

    "The sky darkens
    The stars flicker overhead
    Eyes and shadows
    Make me lie awake in bed"
    `Great description, sorta vivid.

    "But at the edge of time
    The sound of seconds
    Is enough to deafen
    And at the edge of the world
    The light of the sun
    Shines down on everyone
    And I won't let you fade"
    `I dont really like the repetitiveness. :/ I dont really think you need to repeat this stanza, plus it just messes the flow up more cause you started out with 4 lines then you put a 7 lined stanza in there.. and it just doesnt flow well.. Sorry.

    "And I won't let you fade
    And I won't let you fade
    And I won't let you fade
    Into the background of the day
    And I won't let you fade
    And I won't let you fade
    And I won't let you fade
    Your beauty I will save"
    `I think we get the idea.. again, too much repetitiveness. Maybe cut out a few "And I Won't let you fade" `s

    Last stanza - this is from the beginning of the poem.. again, I would take out a bunch of this repetitiveness in your poem and change it to something that is different, yet holds the same meaning.

    Good luck.
    4/5.
