Untitled Love poem

by Brittany C   Nov 21, 2008


The pain of losing you would be too much
for this weakened heart of mine.

The pain that I've been through in the past cut deep and true.
So, I put up protection to block what may come.

Then you came a long and in a flash my defenses were gone.
You took me by surprise and swept me into heaven.

Never have I loved anyone as I have come to love you.
Holding my heart in your hands
it's up to you if I live or die of heart ache.

I want to be with you more than anything.
So take me in your arms and ask me to be yours forever.

    Really good poem. I disliked the second stanza, and the last could be better. Which I showed you how I thought it would improve. Overall you have a decent poem. I'm sure your boyfriend will/did love it.

    The pain that I have
    been through in the past
    cute deep and true
    so I had put up protection
    so there would be no more.

    [The pain that I've

    ** I disliked the very last line. Actually this stanza I wasn't too fond of. You had a great start then this one kind of threw me off. I think it's because the flow is way off. Above I have a way you could fix it. It's still not completely flow flawless but it's a bit better and still gets the same point across with pretty much the same words, just in minimal wording.

    and swept me into heaven.
    [and swept me off my feet]

    ** I get that 'swept me off my feet' is used a LOT in poetry but 'into heaven' was just odd to me. It's probably just me, though.

    this or die of heart ache.
    [ or die of heart ache.]

    ** much better with out 'this'..

    I want to be with you
    more than anything.
    So please take me
    into your arms and
    ask me to be yours forever.

    [ I want to be with you,
    more than anything.

    and ask me yours forever.]

    ** I thought it would be better as 4 lines since the first is only 4 lines. And, it flows better as well that way.
