For All the Broken Souls

This goes out to all those who've been torn apart, ripped up, stomped on, and crushed. There is someone out there who loves you and knows exactly how you feel.

For All the Broken Souls

For all the times I've been hurt

There's a million I've seen ecstasy

For all the tears that crossed these cheeks

There's a smile somewhere inside of me

And all hard days and sleepless nights

Inside out my head with fright

Comfort sought by restless blind

Winding back the hands of time

I won't forget

All the moments

I'll never regret

Having you at my side

And when the wheels stop turning

And there's no stars in the sky

We'll still make wishes of battle cries.

I'm still alive.

All the broken notes on this piano

Fade into the rush

The crowd, the silence sting my ears

But we do what we must.

Keep fighting soldiers,

In the war

Of hope that's lost

The songs we've woven can't replace

All the sorrow caused

But we'll be alright.

We can't forget

All the moments

We'll never regret

Having each other at our sides

And when the wheels stop turning

And there's no stars in the sky

We'll still make wishes of battle cries.

I'm still alive.

One of these days

When the lightning rains and

You're trapped in the storm

Close your eyes, duck down your head,

And please just stay warm.

They say the tunnel always holds a much lighter hope

Why do I find it in the noose of this broken rope?

Even when it's not over.

So we'll let the clouds die

And find the rain

Till we can see the sky

Just one more time again

It'll be alright.

No matter what the heartbreak

Or what you read between the lines

Just walk for goodness' sake

But don't lie and say you're fine

Be honest to the moments

You know you want to die

Remember someday

It'll be alright.

Never forget

All the moments

And never regret

Having me at your side

Don't let the wheels stop turning

Keep the stars in the sky

But make wishes

Make your wishes out of battle cries.

Just stay alive.

Do not forget

All the times we shared

Do not regret

All the love you felt at your side

Make the wheels keep turning

Count all the stars in the sky

Save the wishes in your pocket

And make your own battle cries

To stay alive.

Author's Note

Again, be honest :)

Well honestly, I can see this more of being lyrics than a poem, which I think would make for a brilliant song...Wonderful piece!

[GamingGal]

Pros: I like the repetition of stanzas if they are pretty relevant to the poem, and the ones you repeated helped the poem along wonderfully. They gave it a great flow. You're rhyme scheme flowed as well. And the idea carried throughout the poem, as well as was expanded the further you got into it. In the end, I fully understood what you were trying to comprehend.

Cons: None really.

Overall: A great, well-written poem. I thoroughly enjoyed it :)

This was actually pretty good. I saw the length and expected it to carry on but it didn't, it flowed nicely and kept to its point very well. I liked it.
