It Brings me to Tears

It Brings me to Tears,

It's building up inside me,

I cant hold it back.

How can I stop these tears,

That you brought to me?

I lay before your grave,

Silent and in awe.

I got to see the pretty picture,

Above your final place.

I come here, I leave here,

I miss you so much.

I never got to tell you,

But now I have to go…

I would hate to have to leave,

In this time everyone misses you.

But I know your time went,

yet mine is still going.

I have dreams I can fulfill,

Even things you wanted too.

But for now I bid you farewell,

I know you wish you had more time.

But just look around,

So does everyone else.

That was a really good poem, I could feel the emotions that you put into it. I can tell you put a lot into it. With everything in there you can really tell what you might have been thinking at the time of writing. It is a really good piece like I said before. Keep on writing because you are really good. and you can put some good works out there.

Good poem. Unlike many others, I didn't feel the emotion. But maybe I have too high standards.That part might just be me.

Alright, no one else has given you a full body crit, so here goes...




It Brings me to Tears.--This is a little bit of an abrupt start. You can mellow it down a little, or keep it the same. It doesn't NEED to be changed. Just a little abrupt. Maybe if you had a comma?



It's building up inside me,



I cant hold it back.



How can I stop these tears,



That you brought to me?--Good imagery. =)



I lay before your grave,



Silent and in awe.--again, great imagery!



I got to see the pretty little picture,--Too many syllables here, throws the reader off balance.



Above your final place.



I come here, I leave here,



I miss you so.



I never got to tell you,



But now I have to go…
--All of the underlined above is very different from how you have been writing the rest of the poem. It's like a little nursery rhyme sounding thing, out of the middle of nowhere. It gives a feel of innocence, but I don't think it fits in this poem. Try just saying in the 2nd line, "I miss you so much." Then it wont be so cliche with the rhyming, but it will keep the picture you have created.



I would hate to have to leave you,



In this time everyone misses you.--You is used too repetitively. Try cutting out the first one.



But I know your time went,



But mine is still going.--Again, too repetitive. Yet instead of but?



I have dreams I can fulfill,



Even things you wanted too.--a comma after wanted might help define your meaning in this sentence a little more.



But for now I bid you farewell,



I know you wish you had more time.



But just look around,



So does everyone else.--Great ending, strong and abrupt. THIS is where the abruptness fits.



So all in all, it was decently written. You had a lot of strong points, and some not so strong points. Keep at it, you've got talent.

Yet another great poem.

Its building up inside me,


Its should be it's.

I got to see the pretty little picture,

Above your final place.


This was my favorite part.

Overall, there were some excellent emotions in here. But, maybe you could vividly describe these emotions a bit more. Other than that, good job *gold star*
