Pour mon amour.. For my love

by Kurt   Jan 26, 2007


I look into your eyes
See the scarlet streaks
Of liquid sorrow
Rushing down your cheeks

But all I remember
Were the nights
Littered with stars
And beautiful lights

You never give in
You stand up tall
Pretend you're strong
Like you'll never fall

It's wearing so thin
And you hurt inside
Then after one day
Your hope just died

You came to me
Asking me for advice
I told you what I knew
Hoping it would suffice

Back to the world
To the vicious stares
It is easy to sense
That no one really cares

But she fought on
Keeping her head high
Refusing her lungs
From releasing a sigh

I love her so much
Because she's so strong
I've suppressed these feelings
For much too long

My love forever grows
Accumulates and accrues
Would you like to start together
Wipe the slate clean and start anew

    I loved the last stanza, along with the first. This poem wasn't your best, the emotions seemed a bit forced or dull like. You did a good job, still though. But, the poem did go from ... past tense, to present tense, to future tense.. all within a few verses. Which, kinda threw me off a bit. You talked about how she felt, then how you helped.. as if it were just in minutes this all happened, and I'm sure it was over a period of time.

    You did a decent job though. 4/5

    Keep it up, hun. <3 teria.

    A beautiful, touching, and heartfelt write. I loved the descriptions, the language and the flow. I must say though this stanza honestly took away my breath

    I loved it. Absolutely loved it. Great job. *5/5
