Tears

by Gasttlee   Apr 19, 2007


My tears run deep
flowing down the ocean.

They are never-ending
like a broken faucet.

I drown everyday,
for the dam is huge.

The drops never dry
even in the shiniest light.

They are so blue
leaving the sky shadowed.

The water becomes solid
when the world is cold.

The rain it brings
dissolves like acid.

Their currents are strong
washing me in sadness.

I am being showered
by blades of pain
splashing pools of blood.

This river now runs still,
for the final cut is here.

    ^Hmm, I'm a tad confused here, did you mean to say "flowing down like an ocean"? or did you literally mean, that they were falling over the ocean. I don't know, maybe it's just me? But that was kind of confusing to me..

    They are never-ending
    like a broken faucet.
    ^haha, see, unlike above, here I don't think you need the "like", I believe a metaphore would work nicely instead of a simile. "They are never-ending, a broken faucet." sounds better to me.

    for the dam is huge.
    ^This is fine. Nicely done.

    The drops never dry
    even in the shiniest light.
    ^Er. I don't particually care for the wordage here "shiniest light" just doesn't sit well, at all, for me. Maybe try brightest or something? Also, I think you might want to add "not" before even, because it reinforces the "never".

    They are so blue
    leaving the sky shadowed.
    ^Not quite sure what you were trying to express here.

    The water becomes solid
    when the world is cold.
    ^Ahh I like how you wrote this! Nice!

    ^I don't like this. The randomness of the three lines coming out of nowhere is just weird for me. I would try combining two of the lines.

    This river now runs still,
    for the final cut is here.
    ^Okay ending.

    **It was overall a nice poem. It could be 'bettered', and there were a few places I was confused, but you do have talent.

    'Their currents are strong
    washing me in sadness.'

    Those lines are wonderful.

    it's very emotive, very strongly written.
