I Would

by Colby   Dec 15, 2006


The night I wake up in pain
Will be the night you die without saying good bye
The night Earth will stop spinning,

My last words to you would be
"I love you and will see you soon"
and smile at you and kiss you on the forehead,

I would hold your hand and kiss it
But at the same time a tear would fall
from my cheek on to you,

When they pronounce you dead
I would stand up and ask to be alone
and would stare at you and remember everything,

When you taught me how to love
or the time you said "hello"
or the last time you said good bye,

I would go home that night
and not fall asleep knowing
we would be together again,

I would go down stairs and grab
a picture of you and me
put it to my heart and say "Hello",

I would set the picture on my pillow
and drift off into the night
and dream about you and I,

I would wake up the next morning
realizing its not a dream
and look up towards god and say "why?",

He would answer me and say
"You will soon be together"
and I would look back down and cry,

But at the same time
I will smile and think of you
and never say good bye.

    Words such as "And, I, You" are subjective, meaning they are unimportant words.

    Your poems have poetical emphisis, but no rhythm. I suggest you look up iambic pentameter. There is also heptameter, hexameter and many others.

    Type 'poetry rhythm' into google.
