Searching, searching

by PinkyPrincess   Oct 30, 2009


I'm staring deep into your eyes
Searching, searching
For something other than lies
Searching, searching

We shared the most beautiful kind of love
Full of trust, admiration and loyalty
We had the kind of love that people dream of
The kind you ca only find in romance novels.

I'm analyzing your blank face
Searching, searching
For a memory, even a trace
Searching, searching

I used the key you gave me to your heart
It did not open; the lock must've changed
I asked you to help me in
But when I entered your heart was empty

Where is all the love you had for me in your heart?
Searching, searching
The strong love you said that wouldn't change from the start
Searching, searching

You used to respect me and care for me
You'd hold me as tight as can be
Lately you've been letting loose
I begged you to hold me tighter but instead you let me go

I'm staring deep into your eyes
Searching, searching
For any string of love you might have left for me
Searching, searching

After all this searching, I still can't seem to find the strong love you once had for me.

    'The kind you ca only find in romance novels.'
    ^I think you meant to say can..

    The only thing I didnt like was how so me lines were a lot longer than others, but other than that I though the repetition of 'searching searching' really backed that up & helped with the flow. It also reemphasized what youre doing & hope to find something is still there. Looks like youre searching for some answers, nicely done.

    Powerful. The flow and rhythm was impeccable and provided a proper pace for the reader. The repetition of "Searching, searching" I thought was going to detract from the poem but it actually provided an extra sense of emotion. Often times I found myself searching for even a hint that the person I loved was feeling the same.

    "I used the key you gave me to your heart
    It did not open; the lock must've changed
    I asked you to help me in
    But when I entered your heart was empty"

    This stanza, in my opinion, is the strongest of the whole poem. Not because of the structure but merely because of the message it carries and utter truthfulness of it.

    Well written poem. This blew me away. The fact that it is so relatable is why I connected so perfectly. 5/5.
