Your lies are all coming back.
swirling around and around
Never ceasing too amaze me
that I believed every one.

I stand here now
wishing I had seen your lies;
before I lost my heart too them,
before it was to late to turn back.

The cars engulf my vision
Like your lies engulfed my heart
It's too late now to wish I hadn't believed
It's too late now, I'm too far gone

I fell for you
I took the first step
and now I'll do so again.
Goodbye my love, I'll see you on the other side

This is a really great poem, the first line really hooks me.
However, I see a grammer mistakes.
The ones that stuck out in my eyes (and I am able to help you with):

"Never ceasing too amaze me"

"Before it was too late to turn back"

"it's too late now to wish I hadn't believed"

"But it's also too late for me"

I assume there is a typo when you write "I took to first step" you mean, "the first step"
"...wishing I had seen your lies" another typo?

This is my favourite line, i really like this one (:

All in all, you just need to get the hang of when to use 'too' or 'to'.
'to' mainly means 'in the direction of' eg, a train to London.
'too', pronouced 'two' meaning 'more than is desired, allowed or possible' eg, the train ticket to London was too expensive

Hope I havent rambled (:
Four kinds of people I hate most in life.
1. People who use a preposition to end a sentence with.
2. People who can't count.
3. People who think it's 'clever' to quote ironic phrases.

Hey, Starlene! Here to review your piece.

Starleene wrote:Your lies are all coming back

Should be a comma after back.


Starleene wrote:swirling around, and around

Swirling around and around,


Starleene wrote:Never ceasing to amaze me

period after 'me.'


Starleene wrote:wishing I had seen you lies;

Should either be 'your lies' or 'you live.'


Starleene wrote:before I lost my heart to them,
before it was to late to turn back

period after 'back.'


Starleene wrote:The cars rush below,

Below were?


Starleene wrote:It's to late now to wish I hadn't believed
But its also to late for me

Don't these two lines state the same thing?

Okay, okay. Let me first say that your poem needs a little work, especially in grammar and sensory details. I couldn't really feel like I was there.
PM Me if you have any questions.
Best of luck to you in your writing.

Hey, another quick review.
1.
The cars rush below the bridge,
almost like your lies rushed around me.
This is a fairly weak simile, you need to remove the almost or do somthing more creative and origional with the second line, it has potential but you need to maximise the effect.

2.
It's too late now to wish I hadn't believed
It's too late now, I'm too far gone
I like the reppetition that you have used here, it really works well and too good effect.

3. Intentional or not, the structure of the final stanza is great! The way the lines increase in size to lead to your conclusion and climaz to the poem really made it speak to me mor ethan it could have otherwise, these visual devices are rarely used on here so well done!!



Maybe what most people wanted wasn't immortality and fame, but the reassurance that their existence had meant something. No matter how long... or how brief. Maybe being eternal meant becoming a story worth telling.
