...i think it needs help in spots...but i don't know how to fix it.......help?????

I don't quite understand
how you've gained my trust so soon
and I really don't know how
you brought happiness back to me
but I won't complain, I promise;
I never thought I'd be this content,
again.
I was nowhere close to happy
I felt trapped--chained-confused.
I'm still confused, but not so much--
and never the same way.
I'm hoping now, looking forward,
to the rest of my life and forever.
I'll be here, I promise--
even when the world no longer turns.
And even if you're not, you are--
you'll always be in my heart.
You've brought my happiness back--
you've showed me its still there.
and I don't know, I can't see,
what will happen in a year;
the one just past is proof of that;
I'm scared of this next year;
but the world's still turning,
it won't stop yet,
and you've shown me
that there's happiness left for me.

Remember:Tuck your chin, you're going to get hurt, so expect it and be ready. You might as well see it coming.
-Elizabeth Haydon, Requiem for the Sun

I really liked this I don't think it needs any work at all.
Nicely written

If you love someone, let them go. If they come back, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.

I like this poem. No need to change a thing!! Keep up the awesome writing

~Zach~

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb....,"he murmured. "What a stupid lamb," I sighed. "What a sick, masochistic lion."
