If there was a way I could take your pain
I'd cover your heart with mine
If there were a way I could feel your sorrow
I'd ask for your touch

If there was a way I could taste your tears
I'd let you have my toung
If there was a way I could hear those painful words
For you, I'd lend you my ears

If there was a way you could know all my thoughts
I'd give you my mind

If there was a way you could..
If only...
Understand the love I have for you...
Not even giving you my heart... would show how much i really do...

Hi, I really liked this poem it's so sweet!
Only two tiny nitpicks:
*tongue.
And in the last stanza where it says
If there was a way you could..
If only...

I think the second line needs extending a bit and wondered what you thought of 'If only you would...'?

Anyway it's totally up to you. This poem is great, keep writing!

This poem is good you can feel the emotion behind it. :) I like the last stanza but you forgot to capitilize the "I" in "would show you how much i really do." Other then that is really good. Keep it up! :)

Hello Tarshni,

Firstly I have a few nitpicks which are either underlined or in bold in the quoted poem below, because I found a few mistakes which made me scream because this is so good and it doesn't deserve to be pulled down by teeny typos (I presume they are typos anyway, am I right?)

If there was a way I could take your pain< I loved this line it was a great way to introduce the topic!
I'd cover your heart with mine<I didn't quite understand this line, it might need rewording.
If there were a way I could feel your sorrow< That is really neat I have no problem with that
I'd ask for your touch< This line is shorter than the rest, try and maybe expand it a little.

If there was a way I could taste your tears< Personally I don't like this line, it just doesn't make sense.
I'd let you have my toung< Tongue is spelled very badly, tongue not toung, apart from that it's good!
If there was a way I could hear those painful words< This is all good, I have not criticism.
For you, I'd lend you my ears< Lend you my ears? How do you lend someone your ears, I like the strangeness

If there was a way you could know all my thoughts< Perfect! This is really good and certainly my favorite line in the poem
I'd give you my mind< This is also fabulous !

Everything downwards is all good!
If there was a way you could..
If only...
Understand the love I have for you...
Not even giving you my heart... would show how much i really do...


Overall I really liked this, keep up the good writing!

Hello,
I doubt you will take the time to look at this signature, you are all busy people and I respect that, but if you do know this. Every bit of criticism on my writing has helped and every bit of advice you have given me has also helped. So thank you, for everything.
