Again I have been proven wrong When I dreamt to live forever That we might live, and then grow old And in the twilight, die together
To once have loved and then to lose While searching for eternity I lost it all in my search for hope And love, that enigmatic entity
While you wait for it to get here You’ll learn your heart never knows best And now you’ll be forever waiting Because forever never seems to last
War is the age of our tomorrow And the violence grows within our time Ride off and fight the losing battle The fight to take back what is mine
That stolen lump of flesh and blood Which, life to you, it does impart Just give it back and let me fall Just give me back my broken heart
Our lives are so very fragile There’s frailty in flesh and bone And the thing that’s frailer still The living, breathing human soul
Perhaps you’ll find it’s truly better To have never loved at all Or you could just break yourself again One last slip deems one last fall
The love that you feel for her now As blind as a shattered glass eye That love now forms a cross of thorns And nails that bind you, crucified

Superbly well done! In some parts, your rhythm/rhyme seemed rather forced, though, so you might want to read it over again and try to smooth out some parts. I particularly liked
Our lives are so very fragile There’s frailty in flesh and bone And the thing that’s frailer still The living, breathing human soul
The first line has that aforementioned forced rhythm, but I absolutely love how it goes on from there. In fact, if you were to end it with that verse, I think it would be wonderful. Of course, the last line of the last verse is a wonderful line to end on, as well.
Gah. Now that I'm rereading it, though, I want to make a list of lines that seem rather forced to me. Please forgive me for doing this, but I really want to. The italicized lines are the ones that I feel have a forced rhythm.

The above lines, I think you could take away the "just" and it will be perfect.

SilverMystic, Thank you very much for the lovely critique. ^^
I know some lines do sound forced. I do that pretty often. I haven't revised this. I wrote it and haven't really looked at it much since. I'll have to revise it and resubmit it ^^
I'd like to see how it turns out.

Deadside Dreams SilverMystic, Thank you very much for the lovely critique. ^^ I know some lines do sound forced. I do that pretty often. I haven't revised this. I wrote it and haven't really looked at it much since. I'll have to revise it and resubmit it ^^ I'd like to see how it turns out. My darling, darling Deadside Dreams. I can't wait to see how it turns out when you revise it. It's really, truly well-done already, and once it's revised... I feel a thrill to think about it!
