Hope

From the start,
you took my breath.
My soul was so full of love.
In those days,
life was easy.
There was you,
breathing and loving you.
I was sure I could live,
foever in your eyes.
A moment with you,
was a lifetime,
of love.
No one could dare ask more.
For now,
I will forever be a changed man.
Now that I lost my angel,
my soul lays broken,
on the rocks.
Where do I go?
Walking the streets.
A ghost.
One day just like the last.
For I can not,
find a way,
to fix that which is,
no longer there now.

silverwriter is an unknown quantity at this point
first, i'll go into the technical bits of stuff. you can usually tell who copies and pastes from a word processor because all of the lines start with an uppercase letter. after that, there is punctuation. a good idea anyway, but i think it would be of especially great use in this piece to give appropriate pauses and emphasize certain lines. breaks can do that too, but that is just a personal preference and might not work for you.

now, the poem itself. this is very emotional and powerful. especially the last lines. they just tear at the heart a bit. very sorrowful, very lost. i love it.

*hugs*

Blackhawk_t is on a distinguished road
Hey dude....this is probably one of the best one's you've written. I would do like silverwriter say's and put some punctuation and spacing in it. But that's just me. I give it...

*kisses*
