It took me a while
to find you
now you're gone
and I'm here
again
on my own

It'll be days
to bring you back
and I'm sittin' here
with time
like a slipknot
put around my neck

Living seconds for days
time at its slowest
who else is to tell?
no one
but I need to be honest

I'll be waitin'
when you return
my hands off my ears
to listen
to learn

I felt so empty
when you were gone
never mind, it's over
Wellcome back home!

"And it's been awhile, but all that **** seems to disappear when I'm with you" ~Staind

Wellcome back, Marie!

This showed strong emotion...
You must really love this person... your poem expressed this really well...

I liked your comparisson to a slipknot around your neck...effective

Good read,

ALLIE

***Question!***
So is this one about MArie????
If so-something going on there...or just friends?   ( I swear- I should work for a gossip column or something- I'm so nosey.  )
ANYWAY- Ya- The poem was awesome. I like it alot. I agree with Marie- the beginning was dark...I liked that about it. It showed just how shut down you feel when she isn't around etc... How you might as well be dead. Excellent piece.

I'm a firm believer in not using long, eloquent confusing words in a naseatingly long poem. I LOVE this one. Good work!

I really think the ending went too quickly. Like all of a sudden the person is just back and it wasn't quite explained or brought into play by some transitional stanza or verse or something....Anyhow, besides that the poem was great.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

ok, i just wrote an entire reply, and it was deleted.  grrrrr...

what i was going to say is that i really like this piece.  maybe you could use a little more punctuation though?

also, i'm not a big fan of the last two lines.  they don't seem to fit in with the rest of the piece and they just don't sound right to me.

i love the line:
like a slipknot
put around my neck

but maybe instead of saying:
put around my neck

you could say:
*placed around my neck

but that has to be one of the best lines in the piece.

i really loved this piece.  otherwise i wouldn't have replied.  ::grins::

i hope i didn't tear it apart too badly.  i'm really big on  constructive criticism, and i hope others would do the same for me.

keep writing and GOOD WORK on this one!!!!

i think i just realised what your name means!!!

i was waiting for my computer to load [dial up, grrrr...] and i was stuck staring at your name for a bit.

if i'm wrong, tell me, but is it what i think it is?  do you flip around the d or what?

No... it's okay how it is, although the d was indeed almost flipped around one time... accidently as I was told.

I like it! Good poem. It seems a bit choppy; like someone said, the puncuation could be better. I loved the ending. If you could make it less sudden, to where it flowed more maybe? Unless the sudden climax is what you were going for. Anyways, good one. Keep it up.

Sincerely,
Titus
