Heya Nargles!

I was just about to say my favorite line was the parenthetical "(love does too)," when I saw it was the title. Good choice. ^_^

I thought you started off strong with the first line. Actually, your whole first stanza was pretty good. One thing I wasn't sure about was "(infesting my mind)" because I'm not sure what is infesting your mind, the lips? the longing of wanting them? It just felt like a stuck-on phrase.

I wasn't sure what the second stanza had to do with this love or anything. But I did like the last two lines. I don't know why there was all that nature there though.

So here, in the last stanza we can see this is a poem asking for forgiveness. I couldn't tell in the first two stanzas that that's what this was about, but that's okay.

This poem was okay. It felt a little cliche to me, I don't know. There wasn't much in here that would make me remember this poem tomorrow. I can tell there's emotion here, but I don't feel it. Maybe it's just because it's a love poem.
Other than this slight feeling of the cliche, the poem was practically flawless. I don't have much to say.
Great job, keep writing!

I really like this poem. The writing is amazing and it is so full of emotion. It keeps a hold of your readers attention. It is also very sweet and caring. If this is a personal experience I hope it all worked out for you. The only thing I would change, and you might have done this one purpose but, capitalization. like 'I' and the words at the beginning of each line. But I still love this poem like I said it is so sweet and I am a big sap for a good romance so great job.
Keep up the great writing!

Hey Nargles,

I took some time reading over this poem both together, and each individual part. The reason being because how I see parenthesis is just a suggestion of another level, not a continuation of the same line aside from the fact that it adds information. So in doing that, I really like the normal lines of your poem. I think they're very strong, and clear. If you just read the poem with them, you don't get all of the details, but it tells me that several of your details are going too far out of the exact and into the telling side of things. It's not always, but I think if we work on taking out some of these parenthesis, we'll get a stronger poem. Most of them are fine.

One example of how you used them that I really loved was when you addressed them directly.

flowers decay, crumble and fade
and i've got a secret
(love does too)

Yo, gurl!

Wassup? Okay, so I liked this poem. It was dark, just what I like. I got this one suggestion to make. Why can't you use italics, instead of using brackets? Urm. >.> Other than that, I "liked" it.

keep it up! Keep writing!

Cheers!
