The Disease

by Rachel E F Allen   Apr 27, 2005


Oh love how I miss your warm embrace
The smile that you can light up on my face
The relief I feel from your potent disease
Drowns my misfortunes, hears my pleas
With each beat of my soul beginning to move
My distrust every time you have to prove
Why make me love or have to choose
To break my soul inside, I hurt, I bruise
Yet each time I return for a warm to you
You drain my strength so that I ache for you
You bring nothing to me but loneliness and pain
Take away my sunshine and leave your rain
Why do you depart, so dead inside, why
Here in the company of tears I cry
Cruel love why do you leave me estranged
Starting to give me hope, then onset deranged
Broken and dark and harder each time
To pick up the pieces of this heart of mine
I’m as dead inside as my trust for you
Your disease freezes my blood leaving only the blue
I vow in the dark I will never let you in
But you knock on my door and again I begin
So love your antidote please and I will stay away
Let me start to begin again today
But oh love how I miss your warm embrace
The smile that you can light up on my face

    The flow was off,l I mean you start out well the first part of the sentance and jump to another whole style it was hard to read through I don't want to be too critical but it just your so close and then boom it falls apart.like this
    THE SMILE THAT YOU CAN LIGHT UP MY FACE (SHOULD BE) THE SMILE THAT YOU HAVE COULD LIGHT UP MY FACE. Mistakes like this could be dealt with in revision trust me my work needs alot too. But do revision first before putting it on your work is alot more cleaner. I got over 200 Poems I need to revise but I hate details so I will probibly have some one else do it. Writing takes time and commitment so don't fret that much just read it over before you post. Take care and talk to you soon.....
