In Poetry

In this very moment, I give my all to you.
I let the feelings of constriction that previously
held me down float out of the passenger side window.
Your hands find the nape of my neck,
Your lips collide against mine and I let go.
I care not about the fear that normally surrounds my every motion.
You make it go away. You make it disappear.
I care not about the appearance of my body.
You make me perfect. I’m perfect.
I care not for what will come of this, what the future will hold.
I only care that in this very moment,
That you tell me you love me.
Tell me you love me.
Only for tonight.

Hey there! Supernb here for a review!
First of all let me tell you that this is a wonderful poem! You've depicted your feelings so precisely. And i love romantic poems! and i think your poem here is beautiful.
i loved a few lines of your poem:

"In this very moment, I give my all to you.
I let the feelings of constriction that previously
held me down float out of the passenger side window.
Your hands find the nape of my neck,
Your lips collide against mine and I let go.
I care not about the fear that normally surrounds my every motion.
You make it go away. You make it disappear."


"I care not for what will come of this, what the future will hold.
I only care that in this very moment,
That you tell me you love me.
Tell me you love me.
Only for tonight."

There are only a couple of nitpicks i found

1)"held me down float out of the passenger side window."
maybe you could break this line into two parts
--" Held me down float
Out of the passenger side window"

2)"You make me perfect. I’m perfect."
maybe you could just keep the line as "you make me perfect" and remove the I'm perfect.

Other than these few pointers , i feel the poem is beautiful.
I loved how you used description in the poem.
The beginning , body finish are brilliant. i loved the end especially :)

Anyways i hope i could help you with my review. I really liked your poem and you should keep up the good work. I'd love to some more of your works!

Hey Tiny here!

I just have a few suggestions for your wonderful poem:)

I let the feelings of constriction that previously
held me down float out of the passenger side window.


Maybe instead of cutting it off after previously, move it so the next line starts at float.

You make it go away. You make it disappear.


These are two different sentences so it would look and feel better if they were on different lines starting after away.

You make me perfect. I’m perfect.


Same thing here (After the first perfect.)

I care not for what will come of this, what the future will hold.


Make it two separate lines (after this,)

Overall this was a very deep poem. I think it was beautifully tragic and for some reason, a bit sad. I am looking forward to seeing your work again :).
