If I wanted to...

PreviousNext
If I wanted to die right now,
Would you die with me?
Can I take you down, love?
Will you keep my company?

If I wanted to cry right now,
Would you be my shoulder?
Or would you push me away
if I got any colder?

If I wanted to be held right now, 
Would you hold me close?
Give me everything as if
producing an overdose?

If I wanted to scream right now,
Would you listen to the pain?
Do you think you'd hear it echo
through the sound of the rain?

If I wanted to be loved right now,
Could you fulfill that need? 
Would you claim that I was yours
with a decent amount of greed?

As others are saying, the poem is great. I'd only like to point out (as previously said) that the meaning wasn't very relatable. I want to feel like I'm involved somehow. Make your future writing raw and powerful. You are on the right track.

Thank you :) I appreciate it!

Hai LiseyLu.

This is a good poem, but there are a few things holding it back from its full potential. First of all, you used nice descriptive words, but some of them interrupted the song-like flow of this piece, like shoaib said.

Also, I didn't completely connect with it, the emotion wasn't completely there. It is a beautiful poem, but it's just missing a raw feeling.

Otherwise, I really liked this and your rhyme scheme was nearly perfect. Good job and keep writing!

Thank you so much! Maybe I need to invest in a thesaurus :P

It's a nice poem. But I'd like to point out a few things:

For me, these disturbed the aura of the poem. This poem has a lot of potential and you need to get that out. Your flow, it's song-like and beautiful, just try to use your words better next time!

Keep writing!

Thank you so much! I'll work on it :)

Hey there! I'll be reviewing your poem today. :) Oh welcome to YWS.

I love your style, you are doing great with your verses flowing into each other. I don't see much grammar errors, which is very nice! You are a great poet, I hope you write some more in the near future. Personally, I think you can go into detail a lot more to show emotion in the poem.

Thank you for your time, have a great day! :)

Thank you! That means a lot! I'll be sure to put more emotion into my future poems :)



What holds you betwixt panic and serenity? That is, if it's not among the many querulous quagmires unfit for elaboration.
