Words

A love, a life
One is gone
A single word
And it's begun

A heart, a mind
Taken away
Just because
You had to say

With the dead
She lies among
All thanks to
A human tongue

Thanks for all the comments, suggestions, welcomes...
I'll try to take the suggestions on board, and insert the punctuation, I didn't even notice that I hadn't put any in :roll:
And yeah, simplistic was pretty much what I was going for :D
Thanks again :wink:

The rhyming seemed a little strained at points, although it isn't entirely noticeable on the first read. Looking back on it, all three stanzas could be improved if the rhyming was obliterated, or at least made a bit smoother.

Other than that, very nice. Leaves me wondering what the word is...

i will repeat what the others have said-the flow is simply wonderful. the short lines work really magically to give a new and pleasant feel to your poem.

and i also agree , the idea's a bit vague.

most importantly-you forgot your punctuations; do put them.

I read it aloud and it flowed in my head so beautifully!
Awesome work! It makes my first poem (I posted today) seem so bad...lol....keep up the great work!

This is rather simplistic and vague. If that's what you were going for, great. If not, you need to be more specific (One what? What did "You" have to say? Or did you mean stay?) and have the stanzas connect somehow, instead of just being a jumble of nice-sounding words as they are right now. Maybe you could add more detailed stanzas in between the ones you have. Whatever you do, keep writing. It's the only way to improve.
