In Love With A Memory

by SH3S fiNAllY H3R3 l0V3 U N3NA   Jan 20, 2008


Sometimes I sit and wonder,
How life without you would be.
You once told me you never cared,
And I was just a game,
But I never believed it.

You called me every night,
And called me cute names.
You were first in my life,
The sweetest person alive,
An angel of mine.

But now everything is fading away,
The phone stops ringing,
My pen stops writing.
Day by day, night by night,
You're fading out of my life.

It's hard and I don't want to let you go,
But it's not real love.
I though it was, but I was wrong.
Because in reality,
I'm in love with the memory of you.

    This was a satisfactory piece. Although you were trying to present a very distressed emotion, I didn't feel as though you'd written the piece with the appropriate poetic techniques to show that. In some aspects, the flow was not consistent and it did show a lack of control over the words. I am not deeming this poem terrible, although it isn't the best one I’ve read so far.

    Sometimes it isn't necessary to apply literal terms to a poem for the reader to understand the point you're making. When you write a poem and want a certain line to stand out - try writing it in the simplest form. That is the true way it tends to stand out.

    Take this line for instance: "But it's not real love." For me, the 'it's' and 'not real' didn't work very well. It seemed like you wanted to force in the words (I am not saying that was your intention, it's just how the sentence reads off to me).

    And to refrain from being so literal and exact in describing, just simply say:
    "But this is not 'love'"...

    Do you see the difference? I am not telling you to change the line, for if you feel your approach is more appropriate - then so be it. I am merely offering a suggestion! :)
