I haven't posted I don't think since poetry forum 7 of teen poetry.. so it's been a while.. but let me know what you think... ~heather~

All I ever wanted
sitting in my hands...
The ability to care,
to love, to understand.
Never thought I'd come this far,
from everywhere I've been...
from night to day, dark to light,
tragedy and sin.
He's my constant reminder
holding on so tight,
keeping up a shield,
from the cold and bitter nights.
He's the secrets that I keep,
hidden far behind my heart...
piecing me together,
each and every part.
The world is at my fingertips,
and he's my helping hand,
the blanket that keeps me warm,
the one that helps me stand.
He's my neverending story,
of laughter, happiness, and tears.
He's that little voice in my head,
removing all my fears.
He's the smile I carry with me,
the music in my song...
the little thought inside,
that tells me right from wrong.
Although he may not know,
just what he means to me...
It doesn't take too much,
to make my everything...

Hey Heather,

It’s been awhile so welcome back to pip; I’ve missed reading your work and your insightful comments!

I agree with tapper on the poem being absolutely amazing and basically everything she said. I was just wondering why you chose to write it in this form? I should explain a little better… what I mean is, you’ve broken the poem down so it moves the beginning and ending half of a sentence to a different line, I was wondering if there was some purpose to that?

What I really liked about this poem is that you never told us exactly whom you were talking about. This could be many different people and I think that helps the readers relate more, it makes the poem more personal to them, or at least to me, because this could be me talking about blank… if you know what I mean? I hope you do!

Thanks for sharing this piece with all of us. It’s wonderful to see you back again and I hope you’ll continue sharing more poems!

Thank you all so much.. wow.. I didnt' think this was that good but thank you..

Stargal.. in the first two lines and last two lines it is one sentence split up.. I didn't do that for any reason but the reason it's like that is becuase if you were to split this into to stanzas it would be in lines of four.. and I like things organized so I made it so the second and forth lines of each stanza would rhyme I just didn't put any space between each stanza. I put it all together.. Thank you.. I missed all of you that I know.. and I enjoy reading everyone's work.. it's all great.. if you don't know me.. welcome to pip.. this place is great!!!

I really like this poem. My only criticism is that the rhymes didnt flow quite as nicely in the second half of the poem as they did in the first.

Great poem Heather.  For me, the only thing that seemed forced were your sentances.  Just the whole breaking up the setances thing.  Other than that, it was great!
