The wall that was up
is now torn down
the smile that I had
is now turnt into a frown.

The kisses you used to give
our no longer there. The way
you used to run your hands through
my hair. The twinkle in your eyes
are gone.

Just the look of pity and demise
is what I see. The tears I cry for you
are no longer here.
I cried my last
and final tear. The wall is up
and willnot be knocked down. I will not have my
life turnt ouside down\


needs editing bad but what u guys think

Fool me once shame on you.....Fool me twice shame on me.....

This has some potential, but you're right thinking it needs some work. I can only offer one piece of advice if you are going to use form poetry make sure your metre rings true. If you are going to do free verse don't try so hard to rhyme.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Definite potial, perhaps once you have it on paper you should reread it with the amount of emotion you want it to carry ...

... then try it with passion, fear, pain .... by doing this it will help you find the power behind your words.


                 Let your emotions flow!
