Taking it Away

by Heather   Jul 6, 2006


Walks in the rain.
Talking away the pain.
Dancing with no reason.
Treating silence like treason.
Laughing so hard we cry.
Never wanting to say goodbye.
This is what I remember.
Haven't seeing you since November.
All these memories seem like gold.
All I'm still trying to hold.
This is what I'm left with.
Even though it all seems to be a myth.
I cry out to you.
But you don't have a clue.
It would be grand.
Only if baby... you could understand.

    Lovely poem, I loved every single bit of it, it really touched me, the rhyming did seem forced in places but i still thought it was awesome

    I prefer this one to last one I read, 'Nameless', I think. It has more emotive language, and is a little more poignant, which is always important when writing a love poem.

    Rhyme does sound a little forced here and there, but not a huge problem, and in honesty, I probably would have done it the same as you anyway.
    I think this:
    "Only if baby... you could understand."
    would sound better if it was "if only you could understand", but again, I really don't think it makes much difference.

    A great poem. You have a lot of potential as a poet. x

    Going to go with...the rhyme didn't help you any. I read some of your other poems that didn't rhyme and think you should stick with that, or stick with the rhyme scheme, read some people whose rhymes were absolutely profound and complex, and try to copy them. Maybe you'll perfect rhyming one day and be better than anybopdy ever was, but as for now, I don't think it is your strong point. I don't think the love poem thing is your strong point either. I read two love poems and one poems about life, the stereo typed one. I think you should angle toward that a little more. I think if you ran with those ideas, expanded a little, added a huge tablespoon of practice, you could really go somewhere with it. Keep writing. Peace.
