To Be Stuck On You (We're Too Old)
You spoke of foreign lands
The time that you had spent
In place of serene bliss
Morning dew and mist
Irish whiskey, dear
The rain's never so clear
Things that you've been through
My mind just sticks to you
We touched the hearts of us
Our held hands bled our trust
Stained palms we turned up
Watched pasts turn to dust
And all you have been through
The best only suits you
A sum of all our parts
My mind is stuck on us
The clothing that you wear
Even the color of your hair
I've never seen perfection
Walk the grass like you
And being that we may
Never feel the same
As we did when we were young
I've grown to love someone

Hello! I'm here to review
My comments and corrections are in bold.
- Next time, please use punctuation marks in your poem. It's grammicay incorrect to leave them out and it may annoy your readers right from the start, as it did with me. Edit it the way I have.
- It annoyed me that the poem was in three long stanzas. Edit the poem so there are stanzas with four lines each, rhyimng in ABCB order. Clumping those lines together will throw your reader off and causes more strain on the eyes, thus making your reader annoyed and leavingthe story unread.
- I know this is a poem and it's hard to be descriptive about certain things, but you work on the imagery? Add some colours, describe this boy you love. The poem seemed bland and colourless to me, it produced no images in my head. I love imagery 8D
- If you would take these modifications I've made and edit the story like them, I'd love to re-read it. Hopefully, I won't find a single mistake!
God job. Keep writing.

Hey! This is an awesome poem!
This is by far my favorite stanza. The first time I read it, I didn't fully understand it, but after I'd read over it again, I really liked it. I think it would've been a lot easier to understand had you punctuated it, but, like you said, you haven't edited it, so that's fine.
This stanza is a little confusing, at least to me. The most confusing part is the sixth verse, about the rain. It just seems out of place, at least, in my mind. Maybe I'm just missing what you're trying to say in this stanza (today's been a very long day
Still, great work! I really enjoyed reading this!
Keep writing!!!
