The river's calm infront of me
I dream of how we used to be- needs at least a comma here
I glance beyond - I'm not sure why you broke your line here it adds nothing to this.
And think of you
When I had thought you to be true- needs full stop here
I looked at you and saw a god
A pedestal made of my trust
Perhaps all that it was is lust- grammatically this line seems odd maybe change to Perhaps that's all it was, just lust.
And yet my heart is missing still
I stand and stand upon this hill- comma here
I watch and watch for your return
My brain is telling me you're gone
Not looking back at what you've done full stop here
But deep within I can not breathe
I pray and pray for you to feel
My soul is bleeding where I kneel- full stop here
You do not come, you do not see
The river flowing to the sea- full stop here
My blood has stopped within these veins
The river now flows with red stains-NEEDS FULL STOP
Hi Aphroditeny, this would so much better if only you would punctuate.
I can't stress enough how much a comma/full stop accentuates a piece.
This has good rhyme and meter why spoil it?
