Stay Tonight {Contest}

by BREEawNUHH   Jan 24, 2009


Soft lips are grazing my forehead
and strong arms holding me tight
A kind voice speaking sweet words
nothing else could ever feel so right

Whisper sweetly that you love me
and that you won't ever let me go
Stealing my heart with every motion
making me shiver from head to toe

Laying here with you on this night
all of my dreams are coming true
You are what I've always wanted
now I don't quite know what to do

There goes that beautiful voice
but now it's saying hurtful things
I'm not what your heart desires
and those words start to sting

I was foolish to think that this was real
to think that this could ever be right
I should have known from the start
that you wouldn't stay with me tonight

    Ive seen how you involved in writing. That was quite interesting write..Although it tore my heart apart after reading the last few lines. Love hurts but sooner you'll be glad to look back on how you felt something towards a particular person without being hurt.

    Good Job Birthday girl..xD

    Hi Bree! I couldn't resist NOT rating AND commenting..

    Stanza 1:
    "Soft lips are grazing my forehead
    and strong arms holding me tight
    A kind voice speaking sweet words
    nothing else could ever feel so right."

    -- I love this opening. It gives me hope and warmth. I feel so comfortable with the way you use your words, and think them to be perfect just the way they are. Well done.

    Stanza 2:
    "Whisper sweetly that you love me
    and that you won't ever let me go
    Stealing my heart with every motion
    making me shiver from head to toe."

    -- I love this stanza. I feel the want and urge, and feel the pull that you create and make me feel when i think of being in a relationship.. that i would want him to do those things, and make me shiver, 'from head to toe'. Again, well done. Loved it.

    Stanza 3:
    "Laying here with you on this night
    all of my dreams are coming true
    You are what I've always wanted
    now I don't quite know what to do"

    -- Also, a great stanza. Very well worded, although, I feel as if there is a small hiccup between "wanted" and "now".. to me, it doesnt sound right. It's just a feeling I got when I read it, I may be wrong.. other wise, this stanza is also really good.

    Stanza 4:
    "There goes that beautiful voice
    but now it's saying hurtful things
    I'm not what your heart desires
    and those words start to sting."

    -- Very well done with this stanza. I love it. I love the way you have used, "beautiful voice" and also, "those words start to sting". I felt like I understood what you meant, and the message you were trying to create. To me, I believe this is the change over.. the discovery of the absence of love. Very well done Bree... I've been caught up in the wrath.

    Stanza 5:
    "I was foolish to think that this was real
    to think that this could ever be right
    I should have known from the start
    that you wouldn't stay with me tonight."

    -- I believe that there couldn't be a better finisher. I loved this stanza.. it was my favourite of them all. Realisation is so important in a relationship. if you see the truth, you can fix the problems. if you dont want to or see the truth, you can't fix those problems or address those matters needing attendance. I believe you have captured your idea in creating this poem.

    Well done. Not one of my favourites, but definately a keeper. :) Well done Bree.

    I love your simple lines and words, and the way ypou have placed them to create such a beautiful and sad piece. Well done.

    5 / 5
    Keep it up, and write more!!! haha.
    ily.

    Its funny i always see you in the forums and stuff, but i don't think i've read your poetry. =s

    i was trying to pick a favorite stanza, but i couldn't choose. this poem was amazing.
    it brought back a majorrr flashback. i feel like it was written about me, lol.
    except for me, deep down somewhereee inside i knew it wasn't going to last. its one of those "it-was-great-while-it-lasted" situations.
    anywho, i loved the detail and emotion put into this. flawless.
    keep writing. i found a new favorite. ;]

    Soft lips are grazing my forehead

    Whisper sweetly that you love me

    Stealing my heart with every motion
    making me shiver from head to toe

    i love that part
    but then after that it stop going with the flow
    4/5 you're a strong writer
