Some nights were bright,
I was able to sleep so tight.
Yet others were worse,
it was like a sickly curse.
Who was this person,
The one that I loved,
no longer shining from up above.
Oh but I need him,
He is my future, present and Past
I cant imagine how I will ever last.
But im made to feel like this
with merley a simple kiss.
What is he
To have me down on my knee
Begging for forgivness
When I am not the misleading
nor deceiving.
You must face your time,
As I have done mine
You are worse than any given crime.

Hey,
welcome to YWS!
First we have a rule here,
You need to do two reviews for each new item you post! This ensures that everyone gets reviews and the happy stomach feeling that goes with it.
This is a nice poem, if a bit cliché and I find the rhyming very artificial and it looks like you wrote everyline to make it rhyme which isn't great, but i like the idea, maybe spend some more time on it, the rhyming puts the emphasis on the last word of the verse which doesn't suit english very well, try to change your rhythm so that your poem flows better! xx Velvet

Classy here! Let us start.

But im made to feel like this

Should be I'm, or I am.

I liked this. I like the little bit of bliblical referance. It was refreshing, because I don't like reading poems that are all about religion. I mean, I am pretty sure you are speaking of God when you say
The one that I loved,
no longer shining from up above.

If you are not talking about God, and are maybe talking about a dead family member, then you need to clarify that.

This was good, I hope to see more of you on YWS.

Classy

Hello! This is quite nice, I like the concept. However, I think you could improve the rhyming - some of it sounds pretty forced and obvious, or simple - past and last, bright and tight, etc. Also, you change the rhyming patter throughout. Let's take a look:

Some nights were bright, - A
I was able to sleep so tight. - A
Yet others were worse, - B
it was like a sickly curse. - B
Who was this person, - C
The one that I loved, - D
no longer shining from up above. - D
Oh but I need him, - E
He is my future, present and Past - F
I cant imagine how I will ever last. - F
But im made to feel like this - G
with merley a simple kiss. - G
What is he - H
To have me down on my knee - H
Begging for forgivness - I
When I am not the misleading - J
nor deceiving. - J
You must face your time, - K
As I have done mine - L
You are worse than any given crime. - K

Do you see what I mean? It would be great if you could keep with the AA, BB, CC, etc format that you use in most of the poem. I think this would make it flow better. Apart from the rhyming problems, this is pretty good, so experiment and have fun with it.
Matt.

This was a pretty good poem. The only problems I saw with it were a few punctuation problems. For example the whole future, present, and past line. I don't know if you capitalized "Past" for emphasis or what. Good job though, with the rhymes, I would have had a tough time with that. I do also agree that if you stuck to the rhyme pattern it would have sounded a lot smoother. Nice work though! Keep it up!
