The only reason I'm awake
Is to hear the softness of your voice
Calling me through the constant commotion
Of my weathered mind
You're my voice within
Do not disappear
You keep me strong
When you're not here

This one is special because it reminds me of what it was like being without Michael this past summer. I waited up most nights, waiting on a phone call from him. I heard from him most nights, sometimes I was already asleep. Meine Liebe is German for My Love. He's half Austrian.
Update on me and Michael: we've been together for over a year (11th March), and he's been the best thing that has ever happened to me. He's gotten me through a lot of crap since us being together, and he's helped me deal with stuff that happened in the past. He's a blessing to my life.

That's a really sweet poem... Hm... I was wondering what your title meant. Very sweet. Good job.
Very beautiful. I guess it's how you feel when you're in love... Have you ever thought about what would happen when he's gone?

What a lovely poem. It's short, but very sweet, and it expresses a lot. I like how you used German in the title. I love German; that's how the poem caught my attention. I hope you do well in the contest!

Short, but still very sweet and it does express a lot. I know how comforting it can be just to hear the voice of the one you love, especially if you can't physically be with them. It is wonderful that you have someone that special to you in your life. I also like the use of the German words for the title (I like doing that myself, I seem to be fond of that language, though I only know a little bit of it), it is a nice way to add an extra connection to him in the piece. Nice, simple, piece though it still portrays emotion well. Good luck in the contest.

That is a lovely poem. I noticed it because of the German (I speak German). I'm happy for you and Michael and for you, that you are able to write such a lovely poem about your love for him.

You're my voice within
Do not disappear
I know that feels. Few words can say so much and you showed that in this poem. Great job and good luck! -

This is a great piece. I wrote one kinda like this about this guy in australia. I would be online till 6 am just talking to him. It was ridiculous. But this work was short, to the point, and really emotional, and thats just how I like it. Doesn't seem like I have to teach you much, ducks.
heh.
Love always,
yer momma. *falls over* -
This is really nice. Reminds me of when I used to talk to this guy really late all the time, I'd half fall asleep on the phone but I didn't want to hang up. This poem really brought that back for me. Loved it.

This was a beautiful piece, and I'm in the same boat as both you and NemoSum. My boyfriend lives about eight hours drive away, and it's so hard when I can't be with him. Next year (whe I'm 18) I'm moving up there with him, but it seems like forever. Anyways, this portrayed so perfectly the emotions of just needing to be comforted by someone's voice. I really liked the phrasing of this. I know it was supposed to be a short piece, but I just thought the way you phrased it had a good emotional impact. Well done here, good luck in the contest.

Awwwwww thanx for the comment and the applause! Made me smile! The guy who this poem is about lives in England. I'm home in Northern Ireland right now for the summer. I'm at uni in England ye see. At night I put on a CD of one of his favourite bands, and I imagine myself lying beside him, listening to him whispering in my ear..... And I drift off to sleep.... *sigh*

tres bien! i love it...
i'm 5 hours via plane away from the one i love and i'm going crazy, the only thing thats kept me going is his voice
hearing him say he loves me
