My Other Half, Come Here Quick

by Live WeLL   May 22, 2007


My other half, come here quick
I need you here close by.
I can't go any longer but
I know I'll have to try.

My other half, come here quick
I need to see that smile.
Ignore everything around us,
and make it last a while.

My other half, come here quick
I need your sparkling eyes.
One look at them takes away
the pain of all good-byes.

My other half, come here quick
I need to smell your scent.
Just a second of your smell
is surely time well spent.

My other half, come here quick
I need to hear that song.
That song your laughter sings,
when it rights every wrong.

My other half, come here quick
I need to hear that sound.
Your voice takes me away,
Lost touch of solid ground.

My other half, come here quick
I need you here right now.
I know you can't but please for me.
Someway, somehow.

My other half, come here quick
I need you by my side.
I can't go any longer
I know I can't. I tried.

-Everyone seems to be telling me that the first stanza is a cliche but I have to disagree, or maybe I just don't see it. I don't find it a cliche in any way. This poem was written for my boyfriend from college and distance separates us over breaks. The first stanza ties in with the last stanza, incase you haven't noticed...

    I don't think that the first stanza is cliche, actually I like it a lot. The whole poem is great, and you ended it excellently.
    Choice of words is superb and it's very emotional and honestly written.
    Third stanza is my favorite.
    5/5

    The first stanza may be cliche in the eyes of others but I believe it fits perfectly. Theres nothing cliche about real life and the pain you feel of not having your other half with you. I know the pain and I know the reality, and theres nothing cliche about it. Great job 5/5
