Overdrive [what love does]

I felt so strong about you,
I could live on love alone,
Because I feed you night and day,
My mind is fully blown.
I’m falling out of love,
My hearts on overdrive,
I’ve lost all consistent strength,
To keep this love alive.

    this is such a beautiful, short treasure, full of golden words and a jewel of a subject, I'll remember this one for a long while.

    thanks for all you guys advice, as much as i love it, im not a proffesional poet, im 15 years old and im certianly not doing it for talent or anything, its for myself. i wrote this poem for a different contest, and i had inspiration - i dont think my take on things can really be wrong because its how i feel i like rhyme, i hate imagery because i suck at it, which shows because its something you guys thought i needed work on. i love hearing feedback so thanks very much...xx some of things you guys have said are your own opinion which of course i respect, but disagree.. so I won't change some of it.

    Good poem, but like AutumnsFlame suggested, try and implement some imagery. That would add a new dimension to this poem

    One thing I would suggest to you is--- Imagery. Come up with something that you don't think has ever been done before. If you're going to use love as a theme, I suggest trying a metaphor, or put a twist on it that isn't common. That's hard to do in a short poem sometimes, but it CAN be done.

    I think I felt like this before, when I was head over heels with this one guy...I haven't thought about him for a long time, but this poem just makes me remember. Thank you.

    "Don't stop....believin'"...it's a song...

    GEEZ, I feel like that on occasion, but always just when I start thinking that, he does something I absolutely crave like...idk, he smiles goofy or he says something dumb. lol. And then I fall in love again. Don't give up hope. Hopelessness will ruin a relationship, I've learned the hard way.

    Interesting. Short but good. Excellent even. Colors are a bit hard to read though... but that's my only complaint. Nice write. Best of luck.
