FINI

Why must i still care for you?

I don't know why,but i do.

You were once my everything.

You were once the world to me.

But you took my world,

You broke my heart.

You tore my every dream apart.

But i still dream of you sometimes,

In the silent still of the quiet night;

Of what could've been,

Of what i should've done,

Of what you'd have done,

Of what i should've said,

Of what you'd have said

If i'd had said

The lines i was supposed to say.

But it's all over now,

It's gone,it's dead.

Farewell,

Fini,

This is the end.

But that's the way

Love always goes.

Goodnight.

Good-bye.

The curtains close.

oh, that's sad. your thoughts are understood, but it's not the best poem I've read.

I don't know, maybe you don't care but I went to this other poetry site the other day and put up one of my poems. I got a load of criticisms, telling me not to 'tell' the reader what is happening like a story but to 'show' it to them through images and the senses. They suggested using metaphors rather than abstract ideas such as 'heart' and 'love' and 'life.' I don't know about you but I see their point and found it really useful. If you want to visit the site it's http://www.everypoet.org/pffa/ You might want to check out the 'Blurbs of Wisdom' board. Sorry...this is way too long...see you.
