Early on in this catagory I recall a challenge to redo your first poem posted (or one of your earlier poems), so I thought I would reintroduce it.

The rules are:
A) You must maintain the theme of the poem.
B) You must keep the title of the poem the same.

Otherwise, you can rewrite the poem in whatever form or style you want.

My first poem.. ever... I know it isn't that good...

Now here's my rewrite..

Letting go

Another day goes by.
Another tear rolls down my face.
Thinking just of you...
Trying to walk at an even pace.

Holding myself together
When im falling all apart.
Trying to get over this.
Trying to redo from the start.

I went to your funeral..
And didn't shead a tear
But watching them lower you down.
Triggered my deepest fear.

I never wanted to let go.
And i'll never forget your face.
You loved me from the start.
And it left a subtle trace.

Hands left shaking
But no one knows why.
Trying to be stong..
Too strong to cry.

A new angel was born today.
And is flying way on high.
But left me standing here..
Without a chance to say "Goodbye"

I know your never ending love
Will always have a place in my heart.
But life isn't that easy..
I learned you can't redo things from the start.

Years have passed by
Things are getting better then it sounds.
I'll always miss you. Do you know that?
Next time I'd see you and next time you come around.

I really want to tell you something.
Although Its really hard for me to say.
Wanted to say. "I love you,"
There wont be a time when I don't miss you. I'll think about you everyday..

What do you think Shadow???

"When you cried I wiped away all your tears.
" When you screaed I'd fight away all of your fears..
And I held your hand through all of these years

Your rewrite was fantastic. I loved the way you organized your stanzas. It was a concise and clear.
In other words, it perfected an already emotive piece.
Good Job.
