When I look at you,
I can't help but smile,
When I look into your eyes,
It's like a whole new world.
When you hold me in your arms,
The time just slips away,
Then I realise they were all dreams,
And I wanted you to stay.
Never knowing,
What these feelings mean,
Is a never ending saga,
That always seems to gleam.
Even as I pass you by,
Or push these feelings out the window, to the sky,
I never seem to understand,
These feelings that just seem to last.
I look at my reflection,
And I can't help what I see,
A person smiling, like an idiot,
And that person, Is me.

God, I can't ignore this with the experiences I've been through >.<

Anyway...back to the poem. It was good, it got be quite emotional, because I do that all the time. For some reason, I doubt myself. Is that what the story is about? That you think of yourself so great in your mind, but when back in the real world. You are a loser and other offensive things that you could call yourself?

Anyway, just a quote below:

Never knowing,

Is a never ending saga,
That always seems to gleam.
Even as I pass you by,
Or push these feelings out the window, to the sky,
I never seem to understand,


One, I think you mean 'It is.'

Two, Definition of gleam is a bright or brief light. Are you sure you used the word correctly.

Three, This seemed a slight long in proportion to the other lines.

Anyway, good work, nice poem, I shall be off to do some more reviewing. So goodbye and once again congratulations on this fine poem.

Good day, looks like your a newby . well hello, i was there (still am?) not long ago.

I'll start with nitpicking. This would read a lot easier if you seperated the lines up a bit. gave them some structure to make for easier reading. its hard to concentrate when faced with line upon line to read.

When I look at you,I can't help but smile.[period]

Even as I pass you by,Or push these feelings out the window,

"to the sky," sort of messes the flow you have going.
I never seem to understand,These feelings that just seem to last. ["just seem" seems so blahh and wishwashy, you have very strong feeligns coming through in the poem. keep with them.]
I look at my reflection,And I can't help what I see...

And that person Is me.


Just a suggestion for spacing and some punctuation. I would be a bit more sparing on the comma's. i get that they are for dramatic pauses and flow, but you can also create that with spacing and have less of coma overdose :)

good look on all and keep writing! look forward to seeing more from you!

Hello my name is MusicAndWritingSpeak and I'll be your reviewer today.

I agree with what deirdredawne said they should be spaced out like in paragraphs sorta
Maybe I was the girl to shy to be loved...

I don't have a critique. I just had to say that this is EXACTLY what I'm experiencing as I type! :;(
I love the way you wrote it, too, by the way, it's very nice. I won't say much else I'm new to poetry plus it looks to me as though everyone else has already critiqued it enough.
Are you a Badfish, too?
