Lingering

---

Staring out the window of despair Remembering what once was Walking down the street Remembering how we’d met The TV’s on, radio singing But I still hear your voice down the hall The air is thick, smoke is settling But I still see your face in the window A gentle kiss, a sweet embrace Memories stuck inside Haunting dreams, disrupting time Lingering feelings Playing with the thoughts Of you and me An empty room, covers pulled tight But I still feel your body next to mine The doors are locked, windows shut But I still let you in.

An empty room, covers pulled tight But I still feel your body next to mine The doors are locked, windows shut But I still let you in. I loved this! Beautiful...magnificently put. I have felt this very same way. But things seem to be working out for me...maybe they will for you also...

I like this poem you can tell that the person is missing the other person. It made me kinda sad for her.

It feels like something I have a few times on here before.... especially in the first stanza and the third line in the second stanza. Honestly, it doesn't feel completely original. I like the idea of longing that you are trying to convey but maybe try a more creative/original way of saying it. A way that sounds totally different and just stands out more then the rest. Nice write anyways, R.Bayden

That was truly wonderful hun! A gentle kiss, a sweet embrace Memories stuck inside Haunting dreams, disrupting time That part was what really struck me as great. I love the flow to this one. Keep up the wonderful work!

I liked most of the poem, good setting, good mood, vivid imigination was the key here. Through ones perception they can relive the memory or even create new ones. I had a litttle trouble with the beginning. Remembering what once was Walking down the street Just trying to put them together was not the easiest for me. Other then that nice write Sincerly Gannondalf
