<font face="Arial, Arial, Verdana" color="#000000" size="2">I feel as if the sky is closing
The clouds envelop me and I cannot see
Cannot think
I can't keep my head above the clouds
I feel as if I'm drowning
In an endless sea
Of longing, of hope
If there was hope
It would be my safety,
Soemthing to cling to in this sea
I find myself gasping for air
As I think of how much I miss him
It's been three days
Or has it been three years
Even three minutes seems like an eternity
Without him by my side.</font>

Thanks Jer!  I wrote this awhile ago though, and unfortunately things didn't work...seems they never do.  But oh well, what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.  Thanks again!!

singer: this is wonderful... very descriptive... i love all the metaphors... i only have one suggestion, and that is that you add another time-describing word to line 13 (so that it might read "it's been three eon years" or "it's been three ageless years")... i think that would aide you in describing the difference between the actual length of time and the way you percieve the passing of that time...

sincerely,
jerome the boy with no brain

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!

Jerome-Thanks for your comments!  When you said that, I realized that I'd completely forgot a line of the poem!  I've fixed it so now it says what it should have in the first place!!  Thanks!!
