My Forever

Title image by http://explodingdog.com/

I was your for now

You were my forever

Now I think I'm alone

And you loved me never

I was your blank space

You were my sky.

Now I think I'm alone

And you can't hear me cry.

I was you accident,

You were my chance.

Now I think I'm alone

And I don't know this dance.

I stumble these steps

I fumble these words.

And now I'm alone

No goal to move towards.

You were my always

My stars and my sky

You were my heart beat

Now just a sigh.

You were my forever.

I was your for now.

I'm all alone here,

I've bent until I bow.

This is my encore.

My final words to you.

You were my forever,

but now forever's through.

I need to specify first: WHY ISN'T ANYBODY READING YOUR STUFF!! This is unbelievably amazing! It has great flow! A great narrative! Juicy lines - my goodness! Stanza five made me have a moment, it just made me have to stop and breathe, it was very well done! The only thing I have to say about this is that Stanza 6 should be taken out completely. I say that, for Stanza 7 repeats the "you were my forever" theme in a way that undermines both the repetitions of the theme in Stanzas 6 and 7, and frankly Stanza 6 adds nothing to the poem as a whole, whereas Stanza 7 simply kills! Take Stanza 6 out of this and leave it at that. Well done overall! Much enjoyed!
