Your hands never moved gently
They jerked me forward cruel, & fast
And you never simply stood motionless
As I pleaded with you just to last
One time last fall, I thought we succeeded
We seemed to gain a moment elapsed
But just as soon as you had been here
You sped off and I collapsed
I tried to reach out-tried to hold you
But you were the future, I was the past
And as you spun round in circles
In your face, my reflection cast
You had gone by much too quickly
Age now had me surpassed
Damn it
time, why did I love you
Within your clocks my judgment lapsed

I liked this, Lisa. But...(oh don't be too scared, I'm not that harsh ) The rhyme tired me after the first six lines. After reading it again I see the different "ast" and "apsed" rhymes and the 2-rhyme exchange but they're reeeally similar...I think this could be a more effective poem if you split it into 2 or 3 stanzas, using a different rhyme within them...just an opinion though. Keep doin' what you're doin' (er, that is..writing poetry )!

Yea, I totally understand, stop scaring me with those 'buts...'


I'll work on it too, the thing with the rhymes is that every other line was supposed to rhyme, so the "ast, asped" was just me forcefully trying to rhyme...
