The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

I cryed myself to sleep last night

I died when I dreamed of you

I bled the crimson red

My heart turned to coldest blue

I saw the light in your eyes

Hiding the death inside

Red tears run down my face

My feelings I try to hide

 

I closed my eyes and fell to dreams

I bid reality adieu

I danced above the stars

But still my thoughts ran back to you

I couldn't do anything

Cept' die while my hearted turned blue

My eyes are open now

But I'll always dream of you

 

I cryed myself to sleep last night

I died when I dreamed of you....

Ahh... a poem of unrequited love. Very well done.

 

Some of the rhyme scheme in the second stanza (or verse... the terms were never my strong point) was a little sketchy, but it was good all the same :)

Hmm... I have but two suggestion for this... If you're interested. The mood to this song is beautiful, and if I may suggest it, you might consider adding a single syllable to one of the lines... for the sake of the flow, if nothing else. It may just be that I was reading it wrong, though. To illustrate (changes bolded)

 

I danced above the stars

But still my thoughts ran back to you

 

Ok... so I omitted "the" in favor of "my" in the suggestion... but it seemed different.

 

The only other thing I have to suggest: You might strike the one of the d's in the word "dided" in the last line... ;)

 

You can take or leave the suggestions... just figured that I might as well make them, unless they're unwelcome.

Oh, why must love be so unkind? It gives so much life yet it can take away it all. Just like you poem says " I died when I dreamed of you" Love can seem a life or death. I have been there too many times.

 

Thank you for your beautiful writing.
