As I lay there with my head on her chest
I hear the thump of a heartbeat,
A fast beating to match my own
And maybe I am engulfed in a cloud of naivety
But I can't help but feel she likes me too
But love is painfully sharp.
It cuts through skin and bone
A pain that is strangely familiar
Maybe this time things will work out.
Maybe this time my heart won't beat so loud.
I have enveloped myself in a womb of skin and bone
Trying to keep the cold away.
And she is bright
A sea of happiness
And I am an island
So close but not yet touching
How could someone like her
Ever like someone like me?
She lights up the castles with the glow of a thousand candles
And I know all to well that a flame can burn if you get too close.
So the question is
Is it okay to catch fire?

WOAH!!!! I can't even tell you how great this is. I love the last line specifically. It really leaves me thinking.
I like how you ended with that question, it kinda shows the determination with this relationship. Quite lovely dear.
Great job! Wow i really love this. I love the oddness of this. I like that it is different and still within the poem spectrum. It sort of lets the reader approach a the poem with their own definition. Gives it its own twist. I like that it brings out the loneliness of love and relationships. I think that honestly, you don't need to add anything. It's [erfect the way that it is. Once again, great job! Hope to see more.
I love that you ended in a question. You left me in a question.
This is a poem that I cannot relate to, as I have no real experience in this thing, but the poem is very sappy indeed and I absolutely loved it.
HoLy COw! This is incredibly beautiful. Cudos to you. I could read this over and over and never get sick of it.
Dang! I can relate! I love the style you wrote this in, it really resonates in the heart and the mind, and not many people can do that. Great job!
Oh, this is so sweet! I absolutely adore this! Keep up the fabulous work!
