Out of the corner of my eye,
I see you.
In the depths of my heart,
I need you.
Off the tip of my tongue,
I don't know what to say.
Its hard to talk to you,
But I can't stay away.

Your voice is smooth as ice,
as you whisper my name.
My pain and suffering won't suffice!
Your new torture game!
Throwing salt in my wounds!
Ignoring our old past!
I don't know what to do!
But love dries up fast.

Ill try not to cry,
as it will make you too.
I'll try to be strong,
because I still love you.
All the pain I've felt,
It's just something you do.
For you, I melt.
But, one and one make two.

This was a really nicely written poem. Something about it was almost imperfect in a way. But it worked. The flow had it's own rhythm. It's what I liked most about it. Your opening stanza was great.

Some parts were a little borderline cliche, but not completely. I think it still sounded nice the way it was worded despite the few simplicities here and there. Great job. :)

Very nice. Personally, I'm just drawn in more to poems if they rhyme. Nicely worded. Keep writing!

This is a pretty good poem although I noticed this:
Your voice is smooth as ice,
as you whisper my name.
My pain and suffering won't suffice!
Your new torture game!
Throwing salt in my wounds!
Ignoring our old past!
I don't know what to do!

But love dries up fast.

Is it really necessary that all those parts in red have a exclamation point at the end?

Hello there. I'm Ehte here for the review.

Out of the corner of my eye,
I see you.
In the depths of my heart, From the depths of my heart,
I need you.
Off the tip of my tongue,
I don't know what to say.
Its hard to talk to you, It's hard to talk to you,
But I can't stay away.

[Your voice is smooth as ice,
as you whisper my name.
My pain and suffering won't suffice!
Your new torture game!
Throwing salt in my wounds! Throwing salt on my wounds.
Ignoring our old past! Past is always old. So, old past used together does not sound good. Reword
I don't know what to do!
But love dries up fast.] Good use of imagery in this stanza. I liked it. But the excessive use of exclamation marks is not necessary. It looks a bit odd with a lot of them.

Ill try not to cry, I'll try to cry,
as it will make you too. Doesn't sound good. Reword.
I'll try to be strong,
because I still love you.
All the pain I've felt,
It's just something you do. Leave out the just part.
For you, I melt.
But, one and one make two.


I liked this poem and the imagery too. I'm eagerly waiting for your other poems. Keep writing.

Hi there. Lavvi in to review.

First, I don't get the title. I see that it is the same as the last line of the entire poem, but I don't even see how that last line relates to the poem itself. It feels like you just threw it in as an afterthought. Plus that, you're using a lot of exclamation marks (!) which kind of makes this feel like a heavy metal rock band song. I don't know, that's just what I think.

It's a nice concept, but it's just about executing it right.

Yours,
Lavvi

This is amazing! I love how the first lines just get you drawn in. I personally loved it and you obviously have a talent for writing poetry. The title doesn't matter because titles don't have to make sense.
Anyway, I loved this so well done and please inform me when you post more poetry, because I'd be happy to read and review more. :wink:

Hey, the human Host of Horus here to review.

Maroon = Likes

Out of the corner of my eye,
I see you.
In the depths of my heart,
I need you.
Off the tip of my tongue,
I don't know what to say.
Its hard to talk to you,
But I just can't stay away. I really like the flow and the words. I think the flow could be improved by adding the just in there.

Your voice is smooth as ice,
as you whisper my name.
My pain and suffering won't suffice! Get rid of the exclamation marks. They are not needed, and exclamation marks actually make it seem juvenile. Periods actually do a far better job placing emphasis than exclamation marks.
Your new torture game!
Throwing salt in my wounds!
Ignoring our old past!
I don't know what to do!
But love dries up fast. Again I like the flow.

Ill try not to cry,
as it will make you too.
I'll try to be strong,
because I still love you.
All the pain I've felt,
It's just something you do.
For you, I melt.
But, one and one make two. Again, love it.


Overall: I really really liked it! This is seriously super good. There was only the exclamation mark problem that I had, aside from that, I loved the word choice, the rhythm, everything. It was beautiful. Hope I was of help!
