Because Of You

You’re the only one who keeps me standing here,

Waiting and keep on holding on,

Holding on for what I know is impossible

‘Cause you’re the thing that I can’t get rid off in my life

A life that is meaningful because of you

 

And every night when the cold wind blows,

I always do the same thing,

The thing that you taught me,

Taught me how to love,

Love that will keep the night warm

 

Whenever I see the clock ticking,

I remember the times we shared together,

Times that you made moments of my life,

Moments that I will never forget,

Unforgettable moments with you

 

I will climb the highest mountains

To see the most beautiful scenery,

A beautiful scenery that will make me believe,

Believe that you will be in my life forever,

Forever like a love that is true, because of you.

thank you! :)

2nd line. The wording seems awkward. Maybe try "waiting and holding on"
4th line. you have "off" should be "of"
Each stanza is it's own little sentence unit and a period at the end of the first three like the fourth will not detract.

I feel odd trying to edit a poem with 13 awards.

Anyways, it is a beautiful poem. I love the intensity of the narrator. There is a feeling of impending loss that is not directly stated. Very well done

[Jill Wallflower]

Aww I like this. It has a good theme, and is so well written :)

[Sweets]

This is awesome!
I loved this piece :)

[ShaneBerry]

wow! all of those awards at the end sell it for this one lol! very uplifting write! great work here!

[Sweet & Tender Hooligan]

You open this poem with a interesting and intriguing opening line. This is a lovely and uplifting read. With some beautiful wording and imagery. It does at times become cliché and greeting card/valentine card esque. That said you write well and you express emotions in your poems very well. This poem feels equally happy as it is sad.

[Alysa Taladay]

Beautiful! It reads very fluidly!

[Everett DeValle]

Congratulations, on such a beautiful poem from your soul. Excellent work.
