You

PreviousNext

Give me a chance,

Take my hand.

I won't bite,

At least not you.

I had this dream,

You were always there for me.

Could it be true?

I mean,

Me and you?

It can't.

It's all in my head.

A fantasy of love,

That will never be true.

I'll never have you.

Hey there SaraiRayne :D
I don't usually read love poems or anything that falls in "Romance" but it's a good poem.
I didn't get the rhyming sequence though. A work of poetry is appealing when the rhythmic sequence, literary devices and good vocabulary is wisely used but this poem (I think) needs a re-write. The rhythmic pattern is not clarified and goes off.
It's alright it you don't want to re-write it but at least you should fix the punctuation problems like the below reviewers pointed out.
Good job! :)

I don't normally do love poems, but there's a first time for everything, right?

You have no punctuation! Everything needs punctuation; without it, the sentence just never ends. I'll put some edits in red for you below, and you can see whether you want to change it or not:

For me, this layout is a little strange... but I put the punctuation in that I think works for it. You have one single stanza as your whole poem, and it works for this because the lines are so short- if you put it into separate stanzas, I don't think it would look as good.

The way you word some things is a little strange... it seems like a word is missing on some lines, and this makes it awkward to read.

Despite this, the content was good for a start. It could still do with editing, however.
It won't take a lot of editing, just a bit here and there. But the poem has potential. :)

Keep it up and good luck with future writing. Don't hesitate to PM if you want. :)
