Time Is Running Out

by Beautiful Forever   Jan 27, 2008


Let's hold hands, just me and you,
Then we'll run, and break right through,
Everyone who's trying to hold us down,
Keeping us here, in this shitty town,

We'll both run, with the widest smiles,
And laugh aloud, counting the miles,
Knowing there's nothing anyone can say,
To make us stop feeling this way,

We won't even take a break, not a rest,
Even if I want to lay my head on your chest,
Because we can make it, where we're going,
Just a little farther, where the light is showing,

My heart beat quickens, but not from fear,
It's because of you, being right here,
Holding your hand with the warmest embrace,
Making it permanent, the smile on your face,

The smile still shows, when our story is told,
But our love is strong, even after we've grown old,
Until my last breath, I'll love you without a doubt,
Because our time on this earth, is running out,

And here we are, we've finally arrived,
Me and you, we both survived,
The light is just beyond the door,
Together, we've found a new world to explore.

    Well you expressed your point on a strong way, but honestly I think that this poem lack originality.
    This is just my personal opinion and I don't want to offend you but I think that you could write this better. If you use some unique metaphor you will described your emotions on more powerful and more interesting way.
    Overall I am not a fan of typical love poetry but I don't like this poem too much. I like the ending line it is very compact with the rest of the piece but all in all I think that this could be better.
