yes, this is not very good, but i haven't written in a good three months or so, and i haven't been around here in forever, (haha) so yea...just thought i would post something.


i can see myself in everything i have to lose
just like the rain falling out side
i've tried to love you in more ways
there are more wounds on me than i will show you
because i'm to scared to let you hold me
but i want to let you love me
there's nothing i can say to you to apologize
i can show you the world in one day
but i can't let you be
you have to decide before the moment is lost
but you have to long to decide
because i would wait forever to walk in the rain with you

Excellent finish.  "because I would wait forever to walk in the rain with you."  Now, that is such a remarkable idea.

Work on your thought transition.  The whole flow of the poem is a little disrupted (at least, for me) by the jumping around.  "But" is such a useful conjunction, BUT you should try not to use it quite as much as you have in this piece.

Glad to see you back.  Everyone needs a vacation.  And everyone needs to write, too.  Try not to let your vacations get the best of you.  *wink*

Immortality is my illusion.
