The Beautiful Letdown

I loved you at first sight,
You gave me love
Without a fight.

I looked into your eyes,
You stared right back
From under your disguise.

You said you could
belong, you wanted
someone else all along.

I fell to my knees,
As you walked away
With such ease

Re: The Beautiful Letdown

This was good, Ethan. I liked it, but I think the flow was off a little in the third stanza. Maybe work with that a little, maybe make the first line shorter or the other lines in the third stanza a little longer. I find that if the lines are almost the same length, it flows better. The rest of this flowed nicely. Well done.

Re: The Beautiful Letdown

Something about the rythm was a little off... am I reading it wrong perhaps?

I understand your feelings on the subject, but I think a bit refinement could aid you into making this a bit tidier my friend.

I fell to my knees,

By taking our unecessary words such as And But said etc which to me dont make poetry and changing 'someone' u would have amore balanced structure.

just a suggestion. have a play with ur verses and see what u get.
