Always Waiting (contest)

by RobinAnn13   Nov 19, 2007


Do you know my feelings for you
Did you know that they were true
you wouldn't give me all your trust
because you put them off as lust

how much more will I have to cry
because you wouldn't even try?
we had one night for us to share
the life within shows how I care

the child is slowly killing me
I won't stop him, you need to see
that I'm not useless after all
I can help you as I fall

They're sending word your way
so you'll be here the next day
You see, I know I'd have to wait
Because you always come too late

I finally helped you with one dream
I know, I'm foolish, it must seem
for now I have no will to live
the child was all that I could give

the last thing heard, a baby's coo
I died here waiting for you

    Holy cow lol. I love this poem. It's friggin' amazingly awesome. The third verse doesn't have that great of a flow to it. But it's good anyways. Again, the last two lines are my favourite. It's an amazing way to end an excellent poem. Great story.

    Well In my point of view this would be a better poem if it was organize (stanza) etc.

    Anyway it was still a great poem. It's really hard to wait for someone who wouldn't return your love...

    Keep up the good work :)

    The only thing I didn't like was how the poem became shaky at the end, but if you count is as emotion than it does make sense. It wasn't a terribly sad poem word wise but sad that these things happen and people don't care who gets hurt in the process or how much they are hurt. If this is true I will not say I am sorry for you, that is the worst thing to do is feel bad for another, I will say that if this is right then that you can be strong and know that people hurt and people cry. I liked your emotion in this piece more than anything else and even if this is not true the fact that it is believable is the sign of a poet.

    I love your rhyme scheme and your wordage, it's great and makes this poem perfect. But I suggest you to divide it into more stanzas to feel the power of each line. But, it's still 5/5. Well written!!!

  • Seems like a lost relationship poem. I fear this might happen to me with my man, but I'm really happy. Ver emotional to me. 5/5

    I've always been into poems that are into the night. It's a really beautiful poem. 5/5
