Hey so I just need some critique on this poem. Don't go easy, k? Oh and currently there is no title for this poem at the moment.


Oh brother don’t you know?
I’ll never leave your side,
Like the sky I’ll always remain,
Watching your back for eternity.

My twin, please walk with me,
Through this endless land.
If you fall and cannot rise,
Like Orpheus I’ll come for you.

Friend, dear friend of mine,
I wish you could see,
That you are an unintended thief,
And I a heartless victim.

My thief, you have what you stole,
Something very precious to me,
That I never had a chance to protect,
For you never were blocked by my defenses.

Oh brother whom I love,
My twin I’ll always save,
A friend I’ll never leave,
And a thief I never stopped.

You’ll always be all of these.
Maybe one day,
I can add one more.

I thought this was very wonderful.
The very idea of viewing someone from so many different aspects is something I find very interesting.

I was fond of your use of language. The only thing I could suggest changing is the last line of the third stanza.

Quote:
And I a heartless victim

That reads awkwardly.

Also, the third stanza and fourth stanza are kind of blended in what it has to say, where as the first two are separate.

Stanza 1- Brother
2-Twin
3-Friend/thief
4-Thief

And then in the fifth they are all listed separately.

I was mindful of it, but that's the only thing I could see.

Keep writing! =)
