38 minutes have past
and im beginning to wonder if ill last
seeing your words my heart just aches
i wonder why i couldnt just take
the chance and tell you how i felt
that everytime you're around i melt
that everytime i look in your eyes
so many feelings begin to arise
and everytime i feel your touch
im overwhelmed, almost too much
that everytime you lean down to me
the only person that could ever see
inside my heart, is me, myself
but ive put my heart on layaway to lie on the shelf
then i realize it cant possibly be real
no one knows the way this feels
ive never met the one i love
it seems so unreal, almost impossible to be given from above
and finally i know it was all just a dream
since your face is a picture to me unseen
and the words you say are all i have
and now they're just memories of the past
the minutes click and ill begin to cry
because you finally just said goodbye.
45 minutes have past
i know now ill never last.


btw, i just wrote this like 2 minutes ago so i havent had time to edit it. any opinions are welcomed..i jus needed to write somethin quick..

~missy
My tears of love are a waste of time if I turn away..
my love is a waste of time
if you never stay

not bad 4 2 minutes

kinda cliché-> the "heart" being this home of love is very overused

the rhyming is forced sometimes: the 1st 10 verses.

What would make this poem real fresh would be some concrete images. When you write of this character's image and how it is a dream (again cliché) but describe this character.
I want to know what made you write a poem that takes place in 7 minutes (38-45)
perfect 7? lucky 7?

I'll take a guess and say you are a girl.

haha yes i am a girl.


There was really no reasoning behind me writing it in those 7 minutes, except that when i had a conversation with someone i loved it had been 38 minutes since they had said anything, so i began to write the poem. 7 minutes later, reaching the 45 minutes, that person said we probably should'nt talked anymore and said goodbye. Which is where i ended the poem...


I have to disagree with you though [lol] the first 10 lines came easily, the more forced rhyming, to me, seemed to come in the last lines, cause thats when i really began to have trouble.


thanks for the reply:]

well i liked it alot it captured so many emotions especially if you wrote in like 2 minutes i've had some of those but definitely not this great i definitely liked how you used cliches though i don't know why but thats the way i tend to think

(haha i'm also a girl maybe thats why i get it)
