Grave

by sinwins   Sep 7, 2010


Don't wish... Don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart

The pain drips down my fingers
As you lay me here to die

I didn't even fight this time
I'm just letting go

It hurts too much holding on
So this is goodbye

My mind is fading
My life is going numb

Don't dream too far
Don't lose who you are

In this world of life
That has turned into my grave

All my shadow tears
Are drowning me

I lay here now
Feeling nothing at all

I hope you know
That this life you made
Is my grave..

    Ok , I am going to do something here I don't normally do & that is be critical, But only because you asked .....I assume you are only starting out because you only have 2 poems posted . The first verse shows promise because it is short & straight to the point & it rhymes, ...Of which I might add none of these are necessary for good poetry in my opinion . After the first verse you seem to have lost the rhyme but remain in touch with your feelings & expressing your feelings is what is the most important part of poetry ( again my opinion ) We all have to start somewhere & I think you are off to a good start . Maybe you can read more poetry & become more familiar with how others maintain their flow & then find your own pace & feel for a more eloquent expression . I hope you dont see my comment as negetive because I don't mean it to be at all I am only trying to be instructional .... I hope you continue to write & share it with us, Like I said, your off to a good start so here's a 5/5 for effort of expression .....Jim
