The surreal feeling of rest and relief.
The moment your entire world stops spinning,
and the noise in your ears suddenly stops ringing.

Sparking some forgotten, long-lost joy,
like getting candy as a small school boy.

(Can life really be this good?)

A feeling you thought was far away,
you'd give up everything to make it stay.
True love is that feeling.
Have you figured it out?
A feeling so silent, yet its impact so loud.

Will I ever find such a thing?
Will I ever feel that overwhelming sting?
You feel that calm tightness choke your chest,
giving you endless nights without any rest.

(What is happening to me? Why do I feel like this when I'm around her??)

But sometimes that isn't enough.
Has it really gotten this rough?
Searching for reasons, Looking to leave,
faster than your mind could ever perceive.

You're so clueless; until you let go.
Once there was sunshine, now ice-cold snow.
Leaving you alone in the rain,
no one around, just you and your pain.

Trying to replace the lost,
Finding someone new, at too high a cost.
Whatever you do, whatever you try,
you tell her "I love you" yet it's a lie.

(SHE'S NOT THE SAME... she's great and everything, but she's just... just not her)

Giving anything for that feeling's return,
Where once was love, now is an everlasting burn.

(I just want my honey back...)

I love it, love that it rhymes, one small thing is that the first word of some Lines don’t have a Rhyme, but it’s no Biggie! Great job!!!

@wheat abyss since you enjoyed my previous work I thought it'd be ok if I tagged you in this one as well

Again great work on rhymes, and I think you’d do well to read it out loud to improve the rhythm 🙂

One exercise that helps me with rhythm is picking a meter and writing a poem. Iambic is a great option but you don’t have to do that, you can look up variations. I bet you’re knock it out of the park!

Yes of course!

@wheat abyss I've read into the theory and tried applying it to this poem. Do you mind reading through it again and giving me your opinion on the rythm now ?

This poem hit a special spot in my heart

What meter did you aim for? I see a mixture throughout of um-pa-um, um-um-pa, and um-pa-pa, so it’s pretty irregular. I say all this with the context that I still enjoy the poem, just that there are parts when you read aloud that don’t flow smoothly
