How I wish I could hold you back in my arms;
How I wish I could resuscitate,
the love you once held for me,
the love I forgot in a simple heart beat.

I'll be waiting for you my Mujnu;
though, I know there's no more hope for me and you.
It is with you I wish I could press my lips,
but without me you've reached eternal bliss.

I can only thank God for her;
The girl who lovingly poured her soul into you.
She brought that ridiculous smirk back on your face.
She sewed up your wounds with love's healing lace.

Don't you look back at me and don't you fret.
I'll make it alright in the end.
And I promise not to hurt anyone again.

And when a boy wanders with me through dark, city streets
and finds foolish reasons to be with me;
When he escorts me home every single night,
holds my hand, and begs for a single dance under the moonlight;

I won't play the role of an oblivious fool.
I won't leave him at the airport like I did to you.
I'll whisper in his ear just like you wanted.
And our love will hold tight, if God grants it.

This future looks optimistically great...Yet,

How I wish I could hold you back in my arms;
How I wish I could resuscitate,
the love you once held for me,
the love I forgot in a simple heart beat.

Hello!

As a general rule of thumb, try to keep your stanzas the same length unless they come at the very end of he poem. The one with three lines threw off the flow a bit. Also, if you are going to rhyme, keep it consistant. I like how you started and ended the same way. It tied the poem off very nicely. Overall, it was good.
Who did the jedi mind trick on you women when it comes to capri pants? *waves hand* You want a piece of clothing that makes your ass look wider, your legs shorter, and your feet bigger.

I adore poems that begin and end in the same manner. Great job with that.:)

This is a love poem but somehow you made it really fresh. Not cliche. I loved how in the first part it's you wishing for the love once more and then it progresses to you thanking he has found someone that can make him happy. This to me, was like a story simmering beneath the poetry.XD

All in all, this was beautiful.:) Gold star.
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter, as long as I'm laughing with you.:)



An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backwards. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that life's going to launch you into something great, so just focus and keep aiming.
