    This poem is not done yet, i'm wondering if im just beating a dead horse and if this is too "cliche" I'm not really sure where its going but if anyone can point out anything in it to help me out It be great. I figured id post it because I dont want any stupid comments or ratings ect. This really just came into my head and I thought about it for a couple hours before I even typed it out. ironically I was sitting in church so yeah ill stop going on about it but PLEASE tell me what you think it would mean alot.

    keys played heavy
    there is sorrow in her voice
    overburdened she cries
    this was not her choice

    she plays for hours
    not even glancing down
    here her heart is free
    she plays her own sounds

    loneliness cant convey it
    her dark eyes cant conceal
    anyone passing could tell
    the anguish within was real

    a shapeless figure joins her
    a presence fills the building
    as I watched I felt chills
    in terror I saw it join her singing

    the two voices blended
    she played even louder
    the being took form
    with wings large and feathered

    silently I stood there
    watching numb to anything else
    there was a closeness to her
    pulling me towards what I had never felt

    this "angel" hovered above her
    never pulling his eyes away
    their matching eyes so dark
    but their was a beauty that remained

    All too soon it was over
    this ballad they had performed
    for the angel left her side
    so majestic, headed for the door

    slowly I looked closer
    tears were streaming down her face
    what happened to her
    this girl so far from grace

    The ending of the poem is powerful; good job.

    within was real
    ^ Shouldn't that be 'is' because this is all present tense.

    And, punctuation would help a through-out it with the flow, though the flow is quite nice.

    Other than those two things, this is an amazing poem. :D

    It wasn't for me but you know people are different and obviously so many people would disagree with me. One of the few poems I finished on here I'll give you that.

    Why must you pursue more, when the words themselves speak volumes. Sometimes, when the feelings come on then off just as quick, then the poem finishes itself. nothing more need be said, this poem is powerful.
