Searching For A friend.

by Sweetsinger


I am all alone
Roaming from lane to lane
Searching for a friend like you
So honest so true
Who may understand me
With whom my time flees
The one I can cherish like you
The one who has time for me too.
I laugh and I cry my time out
But there is no one about
My feelings, my pain remain in my heart
For there is no one I can tell my part.
People come and pour their sorrow
I keep them safe so they don’t give up tomorrow
But to whom I should cry out
I have no one like you to hear me in and out.
I miss you so much that I think I may die
I don’t know why you left me why ‘o’ why.
I know I can’t find anyone like you
The world has your kind but very few.
You came and went in a whirl
With you my life was a thrill
But now I am all alone
Searching for a friend from lane to lane.
There is no one to appreciate
No one to scold and wait
No one to listen to me
No one to stand for me
No one to cry and no one to laugh
For you were the one my better half.
I miss you so much that I cry
I say I’m fine, a pure white lie.
I am breaking every moment
Without you I am sad and I lament.
You were my joy, you were my thrill
Without you my life stands still.
I tried all ways to amuse myself
But there was always a rock to halt my progress.
There is no one to remove that rock
My smile is closed with a lock.
I grieve always in dismay
My colorful life has turned grey.
I know I am all alone
Searching for a friend from lane to lane.

Legacy here for a review.

It was difficult to read this poem because of the fact you have no stanza breaks (which can be a stylistic choice, but keep in mind it can make it harder to read). I recommend breaking this up into stanzas based off where you change the topic a little bit. Stanza breaks help the reader understand what they just read and give them a chance to reread that one little bit if they didn't understand it quite right.

It seems like you have some forced rhymes. I personally don't like forced rhymes; it makes it seem like the whole poem is forced and not quite "true" to yourself. Honestly rhymes aren't the most important thing when it comes to poetry. It matters more that you have imagery and have a real message of sorts than if it rhymes. Rhymes are merely seasonings which if you use them wrong it can ruin the whole poem, but if used correctly, can make the poem outstanding.

You use a large vocabulary, which is a good thing, but keep in mind that some people might not be able to understand it. Keep your audience in mind, whomever that may be.

Overall, some editing is needed before this is a final draft. Legacy.

Hey! It's Mahvash here. Hope you are doing good.
About this poem, I must say that it's really provokes emotions from depth of the heart. Every word, every line tells a different story. This poem is engaging as on one side it tells us about your feelings and on the other side it tells us about your amazing friend. I felt tears rising on my eyes as I descended from one line to another.

You are a really good writer. You write very beautifully. Just focus a bit on punctuation.
Brilliant work. Keep it up. And I am sorry for your loss. I know it hurts because I have lost a friend too. But we have to be strong.
Well done. :)

Thanks but I guess you got it wrong .I mean she is alive but not with me
She went to some other school. She is still in touch with me and this was my emotion when she left me
