    Hello Gelyn,

    This makes me think of a relationship that is in need of a boost.

    Some critique:

    We've heard the bird sing
    We've saw those stars hang,
    ^
    I appreciate your first language may not be English, so I just want to highlight that 'Hang' doesn't rhyme with 'Sing' Maybe if you changed the first line to this: The sweet birds sang

    We've been to paradise before
    Played the sand at the shore.

    We've been at the top
    Now down in one snap
    ^
    Maybe a typo on the word, 'snap' did you mean stop?

    Our dreams collapsed
    Everything screwed up.
    ^
    Not sure if you are trying to rhyme here?

    The opportunity knocked
    Then we opened the locks
    ^
    good
    Someone punched it closed
    Little by little our hearts decomposed.
    ^
    good rhyme, but the flow seems slightly off, maybe try, 'slowly our hearts decomposed'

    Our eyesight was blinded
    Arms and legs were banded
    ^
    Here the rhyme is slightly off - it could be left, but it is a little distracting.

    Chasing our dreams in the dark
    We'll be needing some sparks.
    ^
    Very good flow, rhyme and simile.

    Take care,

    Michael
