    I really love this poem! I can easily relate to what you're saying within it as well. I had no trouble reading it whatsoever, and I like how short you've made it, because the point is made easily and clear. It also had a splendid ending, that leaves the reader with a loving and bittersweet sense of mind. Excellent work.

    This poem is actually really good. When I first saw the structure I was thinking, ugh big mistake. But it was actually clever and I liked the structure after I read it. Usually unless it's free verse the poem is structured properly but yours wasn't. Although, I understood why. In the first line of each stanza you made a point and in the rest of lines you expanded on it. Thats good because people usually will have maybe 2 or 3 points in one stanza so it's awkward. So, what you did was good. But I do think you should use proper structure or at least line lengths. Because reading poetry is just like meeting people. First impressions count and the way yours looks is ammature. No offence but people may not even read it because of what it looks like.

    Wow that's long, sorry :P Overall I think this poem is very good and I give it a 4/5 and I hope you take my constructive criticism into account.

    Take Care!

    I agree with the prior comment from Shannon. I seen the structure and thought "am I going to be able to read this well?" I'm glad I did read it, it was really powerful. It had a great deal of emotion behind it, though there was still room for improvement on structuring your stanzas a little bit so not to detract from the appeal of the poem. All in all, very good poem, I really enjoyed it!

    keep on writing.
    love always and forever.

    This poem was very sweet. I completely can relate to waiting for that person that will love me and complete me and listen to me. I love how you said at the end that this person should truly define love for you. That line was so true & real. Well done. (: 5/5

    A write with an excellent thought to present to the reader.
    The structure and line length used make this a very difficult piece to find the rhythm. I think it could be restructured into an outstanding write primarily by keeping the lines to a more uniform syllable count scheme. This can be done using almost the exact same words.

    That last line, that last phrase captivated me. It was a great point. nice write.

    I think we all wait for that special someone but when they come along we don't realize it at the time and we let them slip away. Excellent poem of love 5/5 GG23

    The words I wouldn’t change I think they are amazing they really work but I would be tempted to change the layout a little to bring it together a little more.

    Well this was an okay poem. I like the other one better. This poem would have been better if you put some uncommon words in the poem.

    Suggestions:
    Who will complete me.
    - Who will complete my lonely heart/life. depends on you. (Your other poem's theme was loneliness)

    Shall truly define love for me.
    - Shall truly deinfe (true) love for me.

    Nice poem!
    You defined a lover and not love and that's a new and refreshing way to define after all the person is the one who trigers the feeling... great write, I liked these words.
    "And will love me,
    Not madly, but patiently"
    That's the most thing lovers forget when in love and it eventually causes the loss of the realtionship.

    I like this one better than the first one I read. I read something like it a while ago but it was written differently and I really couldn't understand any of it. But this one, I can completely understand what it means and what it's about. And once again I love the ending. Also the first lines caught my attention.
    Excellent 5/5
