Spoiler! :
So like. This is kind of dodgy, but I have grown too attached to it to scrap it completely. I wasn't sure if I needed something between the stanzas to break it up a little? Any rhyme scheme is unintended. Anyway, tear it apart!


It's like the stars are missing, Mitch
From this moonless starlit sky
Their light still shines like a normal night
But all the beauty's gone.

It's like the wind still blows, Mitch
But the leaves they cease to rustle
It's just cold air and noiseless numb
Muted, soundless, muffled.

It's like the heat is missing, Mitch
From the glowing, burning sun
The world's still bright and the sky's alight
But absent is the warmth.

My whole world's collapsed, Mitch
Collapsed now that you're gone
I knew I'd miss you dearly, Mitch
But not this much at all.

If I could do things over, Mitch
I swear to God I would
But time travel's impossible, Mitch
I'd change it if I could.

It's like a piece is missing, Mitch
Missing from my very soul
That piece belongs to you, Mitch
Only you can make me whole.
'You've gotta sing sometimes, like you don't need the money,
Love sometimes, like you'll never get hurt,
You've got to dance, dance, dance, like there's nobody watching,
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work.'
Adam Brand, Come From The Heart

Oh, sooo sweet. :) I like how you think of the person, lines were good and striking.
Keep it up friend!
I wish the best for you and your friend, Mitch!
I live to follow.
I follow because I
love.
I am second,

Jesus 1st.

This is amazing! One thing though, you have some rhyme starting in the second stanza but it's absent in the first. If you're going to rhyme, rhyme everywhere. Other than that, great job!
I'm never what I like
I'm double sided
And I just can't hide
I kind of like it
When I make you cry
'Cause I'm twisted up, twisted up
Inside

I actually really liked this, and the repetition of "Mitch" worked well (:

You rhymed in these last two stanzas, but not so much in the first few? This was a little confusing and took away from the flow of the poem. I would either change these so they no longer rhyme and the entire poem is free verse, or try to make the others rhyme. It just make it seem a little clumpy and not together.
Keep writing!
Love is a poison, but it is also the antidote.

The insanity at my fingertips is not even slightly coherent.
