Live in the now, tonight.

If I was left alone
I’m convinced I would rot away
With no one to inspire desires
Dirty and unmotivated I’d stay… with… me
Stay with me
Tonight

There’s a thought of looking back
To a smile and a tear and a memory
Of people and places that hurt deeply
Forgotten, unwanted, sleepy… eyes… look… at me
Look at me
Now

My hand touches my face
As a reminder of what it feels like
When passions ran untamed… kisses… die
Untamed Kisses Die
Tonight

Your head falls softly down
Eyelids blinking rapidly… breaking… my… heart
Breaking my heart
Now

There’s a part of me screaming for you
A part of me leaving you
A part holding onto you…
Tonight.

    yeah, i agree with thatxonexgurl, that was very moving, there is a lot of emotion there. some of the poem moves very well, esp. "There’s a thought of looking back/ To a smile and a tear and a memory" which moves so well, but other parts get stuck, like the first stanza, its a nice poem.. but maybe just a little more work to it.

    Thank you very much, I apreciate this a lot. It's been a while since I've written. I don't actually know any strict formats to follow for poetry. I pick up on things I like and incorporate it into my poetry.

    Again, Thanks!

    This was very orginal. I dont recall reading anything like it? Was there a special format you used? It was really well written and creative. Seriously keep up the great work!
    This is my favorite stanza
    'My hand touches my face
    As a reminder of what it feels like
    When passions ran untamed… kisses… die
    Untamed Kisses Die
    Tonight'
    It's just so... WOW
