Shall I cry a river...
can I spare the time
knowing me forever
love was always blind
trust was always present
in this world of ours
sitting close together
staring at the stars
silence sits next to me
where you once held court
dried up words of comfort
do nothing but distort
So shall I cry a river
or sing about the blues
a rhapsody to haunt me
your melody I choose.........

I appreciate your opinion
Thank you , I dont normally rhyme but this poem just ended up rhyming. Not my normal style as I prefere freestyle as being more expressive ( that is just me, I am not generalising) I take on board your suggestions. Many thanks for taking the time to help

Oh I'm sorry you are down. Im having a bit of a rough peiod myself, but as I always say
When the world is crying crimson tears, make your mind your sanctuary. -
Yes, I do agree that this read a lot like a song. And 'twas a very good read. Very well written.
But I didn't like the
"silence sits next to me
where you once held court
dried up words of comfort
do nothing but distort"
verse.
I think that the second and third lines seem pretty stretched into rhyme, and the "court" image doesn't really gel with the rest of the poem.
But that's just my opinion, the rest of the poem is great. -

This is a great read! I love it, and I know how you feel. I like this poem a lot, and you did a great job writing it, vivid imagery, and I love the way you rhymed, another great effect I love it. Lovely read, and I hop that things will get better for you. These are my favorite lines:
trust was always present
in this world of ours
sitting close together
staring at the stars
I like these lines becuase I have done the same thing, and felt the same way in the end. Nice write, I love it. -
