She Sees Only Herself

by Broken Wings of a Forgotten Angel   Mar 31, 2008


Her life is nothing but darkness
and she can't find the light
she cuts herself till the sink runs red
and cries herself to bed

when will she see that i am here
have always been here for far to long
wish she would open her eyes
why can't she see that together we belong

i don't want to be just a friend
i want to mend her broken heart
no pain would ever inflict her again
because we would never be apart

Together we could be one in every way
Does she know that I think about her all day?
Why can't she see that I'm right here and always will
I guess I'll keep waiting until....

    Oh and also. .I think that with your rhyme scheme, it was a bit forced. And that made your poem kind of. .off, you know. I think you should try free verse. It might help. :]

    Her life is nothing but darkness
    and she can't find the light

    and cries herself to bed

    ^It's a good opener for the piece, but in the last time, I think you should change "bed" to "sleep" It would help make the stanza flow better, in my opinion.

    when will she see that i am here
    have always been here for far to long
    wish she would open her eyes
    why can't she see that together we belong

    ^In the second line, the "to" should be "too" . The second and third line, I think, you should reword to make it flow nicer. .Like, "And I've been here, for far too long. I wish she'd just open her eyes" . These aren't big changes, just minor details that could be adjusted, you know. But I like the last line. It was a bit cliche, but nicely done. :]

    i don't want to be just a friend
    i want to mend her broken heart
    no pain would ever inflict her again
    because we would never be apart

    ^In the first line, I think you should take out the "a" and change "friend" to "friends" . I think that the line would flow more that way. . and the rest of the stanza was very nicely written. :]

    Together we could be one in every way
    Does she know that I think about her all day?
    Why can't she see that I'm right here and always will
    I guess I'll keep waiting until....

    ^ In the second line, you should change "all" to "every" . Again, the flow. . And for the last line, you should add the word "on" between "keep" and "waiting" . But this, I think, was a good closer for the poem. :]

    So these are just a few suggestions. You don't have to listen to me, but this is just what I think you should adjust in your poem. Because, this is piece IS good, but it can be better. :]
    Anyway, I really like the first and third stanza, a lot of emotions drawn into those few lines and portrayed very nicely. :]
