Thinking of That Smile

I know this love is very real.
It's something I can hear and feel.
It didn't take you long to heal
This broken heart of mine.

Every night, I quickly pray
I'll get to see your face someday.
I promise you, we'll find a way
To wake up side by side.

I'm in the sun; no longer hidden,
You give me what the others didn't.
Tired and patient, here I'm sittin',
Waiting on your call.

One day we will lay embracing,
Calmly settled; no more chasing.
Even now, my heart's still racing,
Just thinking of that smile.

Hi niccinic15,

Definitely a lyric poem for the win! AMAZING! It was truly great, simple, easy to read yet the emotions and soul was there. Great work! I absolutely loved the rhyming scheme and really liked how the last line of every stanza didn't rhyme, making your poem sound mature and not too overly joyful and sing-songish (not that there's anything wrong with that!) haha.

Well done! Best wishes for future writing!

Simple, repetitive rhythmic structure, and pretty effective. Although it's fairly short, I honestly don't mind too much, because it still has effect for what it's worth.

Try using a colon instead of a period at end of first line, which is pretty much the only flaw I see grammatically.

Good poem. Keep it up! :)

I really liked the flowing of this poem.
Was simple but effective. I think it was really well thought out.
The rhyming made me smile but I would really think it'd work greater if it was longer.
Its really good :)
