Searching in the wrong places,
underneath the wrong rock
Not looking deep enough,
for everything I want
Not visible to my eyes
Hidden away somewhere
I see him all the time,
but his face is just a blur
A shadow in my mind,
of someone so perfect
There, but untouchable
A love I cannot find

Definately well written! I love the way you use the personification! I too can relate to this! I can't seem to find my somone so perfect either! Let's hope we both do one of these days huh? Here's to finding Mr. Perfect!   Love Always~*~Jessica Lynn~*~

dear isabelle:
     this is certainly a well-written poem (though i didn't see any personification? perhaps starpryncess was confused) and i absolutely loved the near-rhymes in lines 2/4 and 6/8(whether intentional or unintentional)... i was a bit disappointed that the last line didn't have a similarly-clever near rhyme though... perhaps you could redraft the poem so that it ends with a near-rhyme of "perfect"... just a suggestion...

sincerely,
a sad tomato

 you're such a beautiful freak... i wish there were more just like you...

This was definitely really well written. And I bet just about any girl can relate to it  . Great Job!

I want to thank you all for your suggestions. I'm working on redrafting it to near-rhyme for ya Novacaine for the Soul.
