I write you poems and let you read my writing. Nothing really jumps out and grabs your attention, you say. Need I jump and grab you, pulling you back down to earth? Gravity is a liar. It will never keep you on the ground once you develop wings. Sometimes I sit and daze off and dream. Of you, of course. You don't know it, but I want your hand to accidentally brush against mine. And stay there. You think we're friends. But we never talk. I try to make something of you to hate. Something so I can let go of your jacket so you can go back to where there is no gravity. Do you lie in bed and dream as you daze off or are you staring at me? I don't think you know it but silently i want you to notice me. You sit there with your pretty girlfriend. She's not me. She’s happy. I watch the salt roll down my pale cheeks in the mirror of your apartment. You invited me over. But you’re not here. You get home and you sit there, on your bed. You’re quiet. You don’t say a word and I fell complied to pry the words out of you. But I don’t because I want you to tell me on your own. You stare off into space and I wipe my eyes with the back of my sleeve. The sleeve I wear my heart on for you. Remember that time you told me nothing grabbed your attention? Well, it wasn’t up for grabs.

&quot;I don&#039;t think I&#039;m crazy when I talk to myself.<br /> I don&#039;t think I&#039;m crazy when I answer myself, either.<br /> It&#039;s the times when I have to ask myself to repeat what I said, because I wasn&#039;t paying enough attention in the first place, that worries me...&quot;

I like this. I can definately relate to whoever is feeling all this whether it's you or just an imaginary character. Very mysterious, and I like the ending. Something was a little off with the flow, however, so some advice would be to make sure you have a variety of sentence structure and no fragments.

Ooh, now I get it. You must've written it way back! Writing with your heart and soul is important. It's the only way I know too. I write because it's the only I know of expressing my feelings. It's easier to write than say :)

Ooh, I get it now. So, you've must written it way back! Writing with your heart and soul is the most important thing. You don't write with the motive that other people like it. You write to express your feelings! :)

Thanks,Dee!! This was written based on how I felt about a guy at one point,and like I mentioned before: I write not with my head,but with my soul. (And maybe a little bit of my heart.)

This is really, really, really good. (sorry about the three 'reallys', but this deserves it). It is short, but emotion rings through the whole thing, and your word choice was excellent. I especially love how you ended it--so perfect. Bravo on a wonderful piece. :)

LoveMeIfYouDare,

Although I am a guy, I can still identify with the emotions being felt in this paragraph. I think that this fact shows what a great writer you are when it comes to initiating feelings in your readers. I loved the stream-of-conscious-esque vibe I was feeling when I read this. It was like I was thinking it myself. I love your style and am excited to read more of your work.

Cheers

Finchy
