It took me a while to find you now you're gone and I'm here again on my own It'll be days to bring you back and I'm sittin' here with time like a slipknot put around my neck Living seconds for days time at its slowest who else is to tell? no one but I need to be honest I'll be waitin' when you return my hands off my ears to listen to learn I felt so empty when you were gone never mind, it's over Wellcome back home! "And it's been awhile, but all that **** seems to disappear when I'm with you" ~Staind Wellcome back, Marie! |

The beginning of this poem was pretty dark... I wasn't expecting the ending! This is an awesome poem! I LOVED it.. ![]() ![]() ![]() --Marie You think yourself a failure, but perhaps the biggest loss is winning. |

*Raises her hand politely* ***Question!*** So is this one about MArie???? If so-something going on there...or just friends? ![]() ![]() ANYWAY- Ya- The poem was awesome. I like it alot. I agree with Marie- the beginning was dark...I liked that about it. It showed just how shut down you feel when she isn't around etc... How you might as well be dead. Excellent piece. |

I'm a firm believer in not using long, eloquent confusing words in a naseatingly long poem. I LOVE this one. Good work! If there's a such thing as a Genius, then I'm one. If there's no such thing then I don't care... ~John Lennon |

I really think the ending went too quickly. Like all of a sudden the person is just back and it wasn't quite explained or brought into play by some transitional stanza or verse or something....Anyhow, besides that the poem was great. ![]() I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself.

ok, i just wrote an entire reply, and it was deleted. grrrrr... what i was going to say is that i really like this piece. maybe you could use a little more punctuation though? also, i'm not a big fan of the last two lines. they don't seem to fit in with the rest of the piece and they just don't sound right to me. i love the line: like a slipknot put around my neck but maybe instead of saying: put around my neck you could say: *placed around my neck but that has to be one of the best lines in the piece. i really loved this piece. otherwise i wouldn't have replied. ::grins:: i hope i didn't tear it apart too badly. i'm really big on constructive criticism, and i hope others would do the same for me. keep writing and GOOD WORK on this one!!!! - jen so foul and fair a day i have not seen. - macbeth act 1, scene 3 |

i think i just realised what your name means!!! i was waiting for my computer to load [dial up, grrrr...] and i was stuck staring at your name for a bit. if i'm wrong, tell me, but is it what i think it is? do you flip around the d or what? - jen so foul and fair a day i have not seen. - macbeth act 1, scene 3 |

No... it's okay how it is, although the d was indeed almost flipped around one time... accidently as I was told. ![]() "Only two things are infinite; the universe and humans' stupidity, but I'm not sure yet about the universe." ~Albert Einstein |

I like it! Good poem. It seems a bit choppy; like someone said, the puncuation could be better. I loved the ending. If you could make it less sudden, to where it flowed more maybe? Unless the sudden climax is what you were going for. Anyways, good one. Keep it up. Sincerely, Titus "Old Men Love While Young Men Die" Kipling |
