Please don't tell me this doesn't make sense. Just read it and find your own meaning. (: thank you. Review me and tell me what you think it means.

The day the sky falls down I’ll forget you.
The day the sky falls down I’ll want you more.
The day the sky falls down we will connect.
The day the sky falls down we will walk together.

The night the earth breaks in they will wonder why.
The night the earth breaks in they will start to cry.
The night the earth breaks in someone will learn to love.
The night the earth breaks in someone will no longer desire.

At midnight everything changes.
At midnight everything holds on tight.
At midnight you hold the key.
At midnight I look for the door.

The morning oxygen ceases we gasp for air.
The morning oxygen ceases we hold our breath
Waiting for the kiss of death.

The day the sky falls down I’ll forget you.
The day the sky falls down I’ll want you more. These lines don't sound poetic
The day the sky falls down we will connect.
The day the sky falls down we will walk together. The repetition of the first half is annoying

The night the earth breaks in they will wonder why.
The night the earth breaks in they will start to cry. Random rhyme?
The night the earth breaks in someone will learn to love.
The night the earth breaks in someone will no longer desire.

At midnight everything changes. What is so important about midnight? You need to explain more.
At midnight everything holds on tight.
At midnight you hold the key.
At midnight I look for the door.

The morning oxygen ceases we gasp for air. It should be 'we will' because you're in future tense.
The morning oxygen ceases we hold our breath
Waiting for the kiss of death.It's good you broke free of the pattern to signal the poem's end but this is cliche sounding
So, a dyslexic man walks into a bra....

Hey, cool poem! I love the mysteriousness of it. In answer to your request, I'm not really sure what to say. At first it seems like the poem is saying that when this person dies, they will be together. But then the second stanza doesn't really link with that. The only connection I can think of is the person is going to commit suicide or die in some way because it starts talking in the third person and saying 'they', as if 'they' are this person's family and friends (sorry, that was not well explained).

I know this is not what you asked for but, I'm still going to say it because I need to give my opinion. I've tried to explain what I think is going on but I think it's quite confusing - sorry :S

But, I did really like the structure of the text and you rhymd it really well (even if sometimes I didn't understand). I think the ideas are there, you just need to convey them more clearly.

Always honest, m xxx :)



Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
