Remembering

Remembering

Remembering is bittersweet,
Like life, like love, like everything.
Look back on memories and smile
But feel more satisfied and cry
And let it all run down your cheeks,
Until your sorrow has run dry

And once the redness in your face
from tears has faded back to fair
Smile for all your memories
And no more sorrow will you bear.


I feel there's editing to be done but let me know what you think, thanks.

Actually chocolate I think it would feel too soppy and too dragged out if it was any longer. I like that it is short and sweet.

I love your theme, I wanted a little teensy-tiny bit more.
It has a good feeling, it's not held back by rhymes or even syllable counts, even though you used them sometimes.
Maybe a stanza about happy memories broghtening up sad days? About treasuring your past forever, like a secret hidden deep inside?
It's pretty good as-is, but add a little more and it'll be amazing. :D

I agree with everyone about the rhythm and flow. The poem feels like everything has just poured out. To use a cliche, it's short and sweet!

I like this a lot. The rhythm is smooth and the rhyming is tastefully done. The theme is especially good, its very thoughtful. I can't criticise it.
