Alone in the woods

by Lady Nik   Sep 18, 2009


I see something in the distance
dancing beside the frosted moon.
My eyes identify stars
oh how they remind me of you.

Golden and stunning
as they strike through the sky.
I wish I could just hold one
and maybe I'd have the courage to fly.

I lay my head upon faded grass
and breathe in a fresh scent.
I remember being here with you
I miss the feeling of your kiss.

I pretend you're here again
singing to me like before
I would smile as we harmonized
but now I sing no more.

I wish there was a hint of light
to brighten the hole in my chest
I hope you're safe among the angels
forever shall you rest.

I never knew being alone in the woods
could make me relive the past.
You will never leave my soul
even though you're never coming back.

    ^ I really wish this one would rhyme like the rest , but it doesn't exactly throw off the flow .

    This portrays a very sad situation . Your feelings are very well exibited , and you can imagine being in the woods alone missing someone deeply very vividly . Really well done once again .. 5/5 .

    Ohhh I like how you started the poem... however I'm not sure "identify" would be the right word. Just a thought.

    =Golden and stunning

    and maybe I'd have the courage to fly.

    Last line seems a bit long? It throws off the poem a bit.

    =I lay my head upon faded grass
    and breathe in a fresh scent.
    I remember being here with you
    I miss the feeling of your kiss.

    Vivid and beautiful! :)

    =I pretend you're here again
    singing to me like before
    I would smile as we harmonized
    but now I sing no more.

    "I would smile as we harmonized, but now I sing no more" <<< I LOVE IT. :)
    However, I think you could edit the first two lines.
    "Pretending that you're here again,
    Singing like before." <<< something like that?

    =I wish there was a hint of light
    to brighten the hole in my chest
    I hope you're safe among the angels
    forever shall you rest.

    CUTE! Like mandy, this is my favorite stanza :)
    "I hope you're safe among the angels
    forever shall you rest."
    C'est adorable! <3

    =I never knew being alone in the woods
    could make me relive the past.
    You will never leave my soul
    even though you're never coming back.
