What The Future Holds

The way your name echos in my heart,
       Shows me that I am nothing without you.

I think about next year,
        When i get to see you again.

I think about our life,
And how this will all play out.

I think about us,
And What the future holds.

Though, most of all,
I think about you in general.

Because you are the reason I live,
The reason I breathe.

Hi Shadow Ember,
Good format...however I found not much in the way of poetry in this poem and very little meaning...except that the person is hopelessly in love and suffers from possible self esteem issues...There is no 'I' in loving someone unless its a one-sided love affair...it's the kind of love that a very young person new to falling in love would feel about their lover. I personally think it could do with more detail about the character that you are talking about...what makes them so worthy of a special love or mention. There is more about what you feel than there is about the lover...and neither is very detailed. It sounds like a fairy romance...get a soundboard to listen to it or have them read it back to you that way you'll know how it really sounds...However don't let what I've said put you off writing poems or stories it's only my opinion on your work and as you can see others differ from me ;o)

I like how honest this piece is and how you really share your voice and heart with us. I love the personality here and the way you went about writing this. My only suggestion would be to capitalize "i" in the second line of the second stanza.

Otherwise, phenomenal.
