if you tell me a story
i swear to listen
im hanging on your every word
your too good for me
this i can see
but god what i wouldnt give
for that second look
that you never took
that perfect smile i missed

heaven seems cloudy and dreary today
as the rain pours down from the sky
you never even noticed me
but i didnt think that you would

because your the closest thing to an angel
that could ever walk this earth
perfection wrapped in beauty
and me im nothing but dirt

Don't sell yourself short. This was great Bryan. Wonderful.

Be who you are
And say what you feel

And those who matter don't mind

Well, the sentiment is beautiful but I admit it's not one of my favorites by you. Though all of your poems are wonderful I think this one was less precise then some of the others I have seen.

Here is a thought though;

"if you tell me a story
i swear to listen
im hanging on your every word"

the way the first two lines read makes the third seem contradictory. I think if you changed "i'm" to "i'd" and "hanging" to "hang" it would fix the problem.

The concept of heaven being dreary is wonderful, a great contradiction (and this time a good contradiction) toward what everyone thinks of heaven, it is an interesting thought.

Anyway, best of luck to you Bryan, it was nice, as always, seeing one of your poems

hmm it is only fair that i comment back             and i am very astound by this     short but precise, i like it.  don't feel unnoticed but don't put yourself out there.....you will be noticed no matter what. just be yourself, and have fun, life is short

If its at its worst don't stop believing, because I'm right here and I'm not leaving
