Where once I stood still

You made me dance like a vivacious ballerina

Where once I was on a verge of extinction

You made me replicate myself

Where once I was about to jump off the cliff

You made me fly like a carefree swallow

Where once I had lost my voice

You made my vocal chords work harder than ever

Where once I turned grey

You made me more colourful than VIBGYOR

Where once I became oblivious to all

You made me a walking talking encyclopaedia

Where once I became deaf

You made Mozart immortal for my ears

Where once I refused to smile

You made me chuckle endlessly

Where once everything had turned dark

You made my life brighter than sunshine

Where once sadness refused to leave me

You made me forget what it even was

Where once the aura of shallowness surrounded me

You made me realise I'd reached the zenith

Where once I merely existed

You made me feel live ......... to the infinity

Hello there, Luata here for a review of your piece. To being with, I'd like to say that writing about love is a rather ... mainstream topic and the tricky part is finding a new and unique way to present the same information, but don't feel bad, because I do the same thing.

Regardless, onward and upward with the review! Please take everything I have to say with a grain of salt because you're the author, not me.

First of all, I'd like to suggest that you separate your poem into stanzas. It would just help the poem read though smoother and give it a nice visual appeal. You also seem to have several distinct metaphors at a regular pace throughout your poem so those might be a good place for stanza split.

Secondly, it was a good poem, a nice sentiment to express. On the last line, however, use just three periods (also known as an ellipse), just because that's how it is usually done. The extra long line of periods makes it seem rather clunky

I look forward to seeing what else you have to bring to YWS!

The way you described the love you feel and the way the person makes you feel is beautiful. The bravery to share it to the world is truly to be admired. Thank you for sharing your wonderful feelings and acknowledging the person. I hope your message can come through to the person and they can know your true feelings.
