In these moments you breath,
     I breath

  And you tell me that you'd like
to marry me someday

while I'm thinking about
    how bad I want a cigarette

I know everyone is probably going to say 'I don't like it' or 'I don't get it' but oh well. True story. As always. I just didn't feel like being all lyrical. So here you go, as plain as it gets. I promise there was something behind it though. I'm not just shooting random [censored] out of my [censored]. You know what I mean.

Okay, I think this could seriously benefit from punctuation.  And also I don't see the benefit of the staggered spacing.

In these moments you breath,
     I breath {I think these two lines could easily be eliminated all together without a loss to the poem.}

  And you tell me that you'd like
to marry me someday

while I'm thinking about
    how bad I want a cigarette

This is just how I view this, you can ignore it if you so desire.

You tell me that you'd like
to marry me someday,

but all I can think
of is how badly

I want a cigarette.

That is just how I see this poem.  Even as it stands I really like it, definitely a good piece.

I originally added the whole breathing part to just kind of put the image of two people "caught in time" so to speak. I suppose that if I had gone into depth it would have given off that effect, but since I didn't it added nothing to the poem. I like the simplicity of the poem though so I won't add more crap to it. Thanks for that insight.

The reason I spaced the lines out a bit was just to kind of emphasize on the disconnected feelings I had, but I suppose that really only makes sense in my own head. Funny how it always works out that way. lol

Anywho, as always thanks for your honesty. I'll think about it all more when my mind isn't feeling as lazy.

hey,
as usual, this was a pretty good poem, don't think i've read one by you that i've hated.  this one made me smile, the guy is like pledging his love for you and you're like "eh whatever" haha. i don't know,that is amusing to me.

maybe i'll catch fire, something nice to warm me. something pure to burn away the darkness, that hides inside my mind. -alkaline trio-

Hey Memina, I can dig it. I like this one. Though, there hasn't been one in the last year I haven't liked, has there?

Are you in N.C. right now? Or is he out there with you? I seem to remember you saying he was coming into town recently. Anyhow, looking forward to talking tonight.

I enjoyed the poem, nothing much I'd change. I might do a few words differently, like so:

"In these moments you breath,
     I breath

  And you tell me that you'd like
to marry me someday

while I'm thinking about
    how bad I want a cigarette"

to:

"In these moments you breath,
     I breath

  You tell me that you'd like
to marry me someday

All the while I'm thinking about
    just how bad I want a cigarette."

Sincerely,
SaVerite

As I'm out there, walking, searching, for myself, for you.... won't you join me? Let's walk this journey together.

Yeah, he's here for two weeks. Lucky girl. It's been fun. I haven't killed him yet, but I confess to having tried.

Thanks for your comments. It's been a while since I've spoken to you. I was starting to get pissed off. lol

I painted my wall again. Adding to the rest of the murals. Spiffy, eh? I'll send you a picture of the changes soon.

Chow. Cheerio. Peace out. *waves*

clve, i think you take the poem way too seriously. it's a good poem and i like it. it's short, to the point yet effective and as always i may be giving too much sugar but hey i'm addicted, anyways the spacing is fine, it gives more power to the words as it causes a slight hesitation in the readers voice (i read poetry out loud always) i like it a lot as always.

life may just take a while but i guess heaven's worth the wait

I apologize, I have goals of becoming a writer.  Maybe I should just drop them and go around telling everyone that everything they write is great.

Would you guys mellow out? I mean it's my poem he's commenting on for christ sake and if I'm not offended then why should you be? It's okay to disagree, but let's not all start getting silly about it.

And yes, it should be 'breathe' but me being the most intelligent person in the world decided to test everyone here to see if they'd notice. Good work you guys. Keep it up.

Something humorous to me: I didn't notice. In my head, I just said "breathe." Hmm. Anyhow.

Memina, would you kick him off the bloody computer? I see his bugger sn on, but never yours.

*wink*
