Even If

by Silent Scribbler   Nov 26, 2012


Here we lie
Ready to die
Asleep and safe in arms
But wake me not
You'll ruin the plot
And make me doubt your charms

But now I awake
And my heart aches
With you there no longer
All but alone
Cold as stone
I thought I would be stronger

Mistaken was I
To think I wouldn't cry
That I would go on unfazed
But your gone now
So my heart won't allow
Me to catch your gaze

All seems lost
My feelings tossed
I guess it doesn't matter
Life will go on
Even if you're gone
Even if to the floor I clatter

    I agree with all the comments made above, this poem is very emotional in the style it's written. I also like your technique and approach for rhyming throughout this piece.

    Great poem.

    What I liked most about this piece is that you made these rhymes your own, taking in a different structure/scheme to have the first two lines, then the 3rd and 6th, and the fourth and fifth rhyme together. Great portrayals, with the "even if" serving as hope that will happen with time. That's wisdom here: life does go on.

    Third stanza, fourth line: "your" should be "you're".
    Reading this two times, I was surprised at how you incorporated a deeper feeling into fewer words. Though you don't go into great detail about how your heart aches, you leave it open for the reader to wonder. This alone was beautiful:

    "So my heart won't allow
    Me to catch your gaze"

    I don't think I've heard anything like that before....it's like the heart is trying to understand that your love is gone. I could tell this came straight from your heart, and I could feel that strength showing through here.
