Did You Invite Me?

by Michael D Nalley   May 25, 2008


I wanted in your heart.
Did you invite me?
Wherever I'm welcome
Is where I will be.

I think it is a sin
To believe everything
Comes from within
Without true thinking

I was your groom
You were my bride
Is there any room
Deep down inside?

I thought you were unkind
Deep down in my soul
No matter, never mind
About the things you stole

I was mad and shaken
When you left me alone
I felt so forsaken
And sadly on my own

I thought you understood
And you would take heed
I never thought you would
Stand by to watch me bleed

I know it has been said
Our hearts can't understand
The reasons in our head
Our fates seem so unplanned

If Love was universal order
Could it fit inside a heart?
They say love has no border
We must choose to be apart

    This was well done and puts forth a good story without using too many words or taking up too much time. only thing i didnt like was the second stanza because the rhyming abab almost had close enough slant rhyme to seem to be aaaa. but the story was excellent and the ending was brilliant.
    4/5

    The continuity of your idea seems to hop about and your emotions appear to be leading you in this. Not really clear on second stanza's meaning In fifth stanza they are gone and in sixth they are back? This is as always just an opinion. I do think you could take another look at this and smooth it out so it is Very good.

    Hmm..there's a jumping of ideas from stanza one to three but still its a nice poem (or it was just my thought who can't catch up with the flow??). the emotions are revealed intensely. good work

    This poem is very understanable in some parts

    But i think it's some parts in this poem i came to think were a little "Awkward"

    Like.....
    " I was angry and shaken
    When you left me alone
    I did feel so forsaken
    And sadly on my own"

    This I felt was very Awkward not the flow or anything just the wording

    Like if i could suggest changing it to something like.....

    I was angry and shaken, [this comma gives a pause right here]
    When you left me alone
    I did[take this 'did out] feel[change the "feel to felt" so forsaken
    And sadly on my own

    I think you should at least write it that way and see of you like it but i just wanted to let you know that [in my opinion]

    Other than wording thing the poem was okay

    Wouldn't give it a WOW! but's it's not a 1 It's more like a in betweeny! :\

    I'm not trying to be mean just to be honest!

    So i guess that'll be 3/5 for me
