Open Hearts

by X Harlea X   Jun 18, 2009


As often as I thought,
That we could go with our hearts,
That was the day you came,
And nothing was ever the same.

As the days turned to weeks,
I was no longer able to seek,
So you came in and stole my heart,
That's when things fell apart.

We fought and yelled at each other,
Cause we really didn't love one another,
Now as often as I thought,
That we could go with open hearts.

    As often as I thought,
    That we could go with our hearts,
    That was the day you came,
    And nothing was ever the same.

    *I like how you started this. It's simple, but it makes me want to know how things changed.*

    As the days turned to weeks,
    I was no longer able to seek,
    So you came in and stole my heart,
    That's when things fell apart.

    *The second line bothers me a little. You say you weren't ale to "seek". Well what were you seeking in the first place. I would change that to "see" It doesn't end with a "k" but it still rhymes and makes a little more sense. But other than that I liked this stanza.*

    We fought and yelled at each other,
    Cause we really didn't love one another,
    Now as often as I thought,
    That we could go with open hearts.

    *You ending wasn't as strong as I would have liked it to be, but I like how you ended it how you started it. That was clever and also effective. I love the style and the diction was good too. Keep it up. Nik*
