Trespassing

Trespassing

Lines between memories and emotions
Blur, slur, and fade away
As you bring up the events of the past
Of what, who we once were

But I can’t let this call me away
To let down guard to temptation’s sway
So that hen I realize you’ve changed
My heart is twice broken, in vain

Fleeting feelings and wishful whims
In time, in hope, forever dims

Hey Ink, I'd like to first start out by saying that I really liked this piece, you've got a great style that I envy. You've got an awesome flow, and way of rhyming that I think is wonderful. There are a few little things I'd like to point out.

But I can’t let this call me away
To let down my guard to temptation’s sway
So that (When or then?) hen I realize you’ve changed
My heart is twice broken, in vain
It isn't necessary to capitalize the beginning letter in every line. Poetry follows the same rules as prose, capitalize after periods, proper nouns, etc. Also add some punctuation...it really makes a difference :). The ending compared to the rest of the poem is just okay. I think the rhyme feels a little forced, and I also agree with Empress on the last line. The rest of the poem I really like though, so keep writing, I hope to read more from you.

I like how the last two lines rhymed, but that's just me.

hone=when.
Besides that, good job. I guess her heart is twice broken because she loved him once, left him and then came back to realize he'd been changed (?)

This line is a little obscure. Forever dims in hope of what? I think it should be
In time, with hope, forever dims
But maybe I'm misunderstanding your poem :/
Anyways, great job and keep writing

======================

I think the title refers to the fact that memories of someone keep distracting him that the author might have termed it "trespassing" since it is unwanted.

It's a really nice read. I find it somewhat fulfilling even thought it's short.

one quick question: I didn't get how the title related to the poem. I loved the first line. Your rhyme scheme was a tad random. Not bad, though.
