its short and long and somewhere in between
its jolly and merry or so it would seem
its a comitment you make
one you can never break
if only for your own sake

now lets take a minute to think
would we sink?
could we hold out that long?
or would you be long gone?

i guess i will just have to take a chance
now at glance it seems we might last
but that could quickly become the past

i forget everything when you smile at me
you hold the key to my immortality

The first two lines were fantastic. Those two lines had more power and mystery to them than most of the poem. My encouragement is to try and veil your words a bit more. Being obvious leaves the reader no choices for interpretation. The thrill of expression is the mystery (at least for me!). Not bad though for starting out. Stick around here and I promise you will improve.

I must agree with young_blood. Your poem didn't quite do it for me but those last two lines were amazing. I suggest you start over with those and see what you can't come up with.
