    Well, first of all, I love this piece!! Sorry, I'm a sucker for dark poetry, and these are the only 'love' poems I like, with queer endings that gives me chills.
    "Deeper into the shadows, I crawl for you
    Ever searching for "Love", I wonder the blue"---I know 'crawl' is a common word, but I love how you used it here, it is a metaphor, I know, but it gave me a nice imagery of longing and loneliness.
    "Healing the deepest wounds I once knew
    I invite you deeper, to the depths of my
    heart"---Just beautiful, and well-written. I love this part.
    I won't go into depth with the middle part, because all I'll do is praise them, and tell you I love them, so I'll skip to the last lines:
    "These feelings I hold, drove you away
    Holding you close, I shriek and see the
    decay"----Really dark, and I love it. I can easily picture the persona holding the dead body of his loved one. I might be wrong, but that's what I see :b
    "Understanding our love, I will always regret
    Since I can remember, I could never forget"---I love the ending. Really gave the whole piece a period..
    Keep writing like this and I'll definitely keep coming back, this piece just made me a fan of your work, sir. Keep it up :)

    Dang this piece is amazing. The emotion you describe is relatable to a lot of people. Your word choice and tone, hand in hand, created an interesting feel to your work. I think you have penned something almost worthy of calling a perfect piece. Great job.

    5/5

    Seems like it was heavily inspired by razorblade romance to me. i like this one. its dark, emotional, but dances around the lines of happy and sad. to me it was neither, or maybe a little bit of both. like a tragic happy ending, or a sad love, something along those lines. i like the duality you used in this poem. Good job and cool write, keep it up

    I like the title because it gives the reader a small idea as to what this poem will be about, yet it obviously doesn't give anything away and I was eager to figure out whether the speaker will eventually find what he is searching for or not.

    I have to admit right away that I'm not much of a fan when it comes to rhymes, that's mostlikely the case because most poems that have rhymes focus too much on the rhymes, which makes it feel choppy at parts nonetheless and some even lack emotions, while other rhymes are simply not original whatsoever. It felt different with your poem because even though it rhymed I had the feeling that you knew what you were doing and it didn't feel overdone.

    I really liked the descriptions of what is happening because like that I've got the possibility to imagine it, which makes me feel the poem and its emotions more.

    The last two verses are really intruiging though and I literally love them, thanks to the rhyme they flow well, they are catchy and to me very relateable.

    Well written poem. :)

    Oh wow there is so much here,:O

    "Deeper into the shadows, I crawl for you
    Ever searching for "Love", I wonder the blue
    After finding my heart, forever lost to the void
    The feelings of sorrow once fresh, now destroyed
    Healing the deepest wounds I once knew." This is my favorite part in the poem and i think it was a great intro it really caught me!

    "I invite you deeper, to the depths of my heart
    Sadly I realise, you're lost in the dark"

    Oh so sad:( but you must realize you can't invite someone to love you when you don't love yourself!!:)

    "Incapable of finding you, I search within
    Never again to feel the touch of your skin"

    This line really hit me, one of my favorite lines in this, because it is filled with so much emotion. I can tell you are really putting forth emotion here..

    "Since I can remember, I could never forget" You really did kill it here on these last words!
    5/5

    "Ever searching for "Love", I wonder the blue"

    Interesting word-choice here. I'm speaking of "wonder." Do you mean to marvel and be curious about... Or do you mean "wander" to move aimlessly about?

    Either way, I feel it's appropriate. Also, the quotation marks around "Love," I found that interesting as well. It seems as though you don't even believe in the commonly accepted definition of the word; however, by the end of the poem you speak of love as if you knew it personally. I sort of like that- It gives the whole thing a sense of time passing.

    Also, I really liked the way you took the emotional aspects of heartbreak and dispair and gave it a physical description. Nice touch.

    Well done.

    The flow of this poem is flawless. I can feel the emotion, and relate. Well done, and thank you for writing this.
    "Losing my way, I regress back to my pain
    Oblivion has tragically, reached me again
    Venturing onward, to find all I hold dear
    Eventually I find you, cowering with fear "

    I especially like this part. Well done, and keep writing.

    Again with my favorite rhyme scheme that I never can do, and you do beautifully. I love that your main write is dark poetry, but there is still a sweetness to it.

    Losing my way, I regress back to my pain
    Oblivion has tragically, reached me again
    Venturing onward, to find all I hold dear
    Eventually I find you, cowering with fear

    ^^Your vocabulary is so gorgeous. I can't compliment on that enough. It's so much better than the mundane, overused adjectives and nouns. Your writing is very sophisticated.

    That stanza in particular was my favorite. I can relate to it. If I were to look deeply into this, the last two lines sound like the Speaker is looking for herself. And when she finds the strong person she was before, the girl from before is a sad, scared girl who needs to be built back up again. This whole poem could be about just the Speaker, if you want to interpret it that way.

    Again, you are another exceptional write!

    I really did enjoy the rhyme scheme. The flow was well done. I think you used abit too much description because I can see one get lost in the words. Some time short and to the point is the best way. Still all and all a good poem. Please check out my work. You can also see some projects I been working on at.
