How long can I abstain?

by ShootingStar179   Nov 8, 2006


Kisses on the hand,
Little things we do,
Makes me wonder how much I can stand.

I suppose I want so much more,
But fear is latching on to me,
From the outside of me to the core.

I wonder how much more until it kills me?
I wonder how long temptation will stay under my brain?
I really hope my heart doesn not break along the way,
How long can I abstain?

    Ok, I'll start off with saying I really enjoyed this poem, I liked the way you wrote it and how you kept your emotions raw throughout the poem. I especially enjoyed the last stanza out of them all.
    You convey emotions well.

    My issue would be with the way you have puncuated it.

    Putting a full stop after the stanzas really disrupts the flow of the poem, it interrupted my reading. I think it would work much better without the full stops.

    Also this line
    "From the outside of me to the core."
    Was a little bit repetitive as you had just used "me" in the line above. My suggestion would be "From my inside to my core" Or something along those lines.

    Nitpicking: Penultimate line "doesn" I think you added an "n" by accident. But thats me being really fussy..

    Overall, a strong poem, with strongly written emotion and a good form.

    Keep writing, take care
