still falling
i sit at my desk still falling.. calling her name in my mind, repeated thru time.. over and over.. pounding.. my eyes long for that smile, falling into a hole dwelling on what is real.. longing for her touch.. for just one second.. is that to much?..

I like your poetry, but it's hard to read the way you write it. Maybe I'm just retarded but I can't read it as easily when everything runs together. Oh well, still a good poem

This reminds me a lot of the last one.  In the beginning you, said "calling her name in my mind" who's her?  A past girlfriend?  Very mysterious here... Nicely done.

Ya, I agree with Jon. I think everywhere you have the periods and the comas it should instead start a new line....Thus reading like this:

Still falling

I sit at my desk still falling.
Calling her name in my mind,
repeated thru time..
over and over..
pounding..
my eyes long for that smile.
Falling into a hole,
dwelling on what is real,
longing for her touch...
for just one second...
Is that to much?

The line breaks and dots and comas give the poem a WONDERFUL serioes of pauses and breaks which add SO Much to the reading effect. I loved this write. I though you did an awesome job potraying you feelings...

You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

I like this one a lot.. im sorry about the situation though  

I, myself, like the way it was written. the way it all flows together.. i don't know, makes it seem more real, and.. grr!
i can't explain it.. *sigh* I love it though. Good work!
Hope things start looking up for you

Often such thoughts plague not only your mind but quite a few more people as well. Honestly, if you sit here wonderding such things, you'll drive yourself mad. Being mad isn't exactly the best thing in the world for you.
The lines really need to be broken up here to give it the maximum effect. Having it written like this takes away from what it has to offer. Try it the other way, or writing a few other pieces this way, and look at the way they read differently and come across. You'll be surprised how much of a difference line breaks create.
Thanks for the read. Remember to reply as well as post.
