ok i know i suck at this, my grammar is horrible, it doesn't flow i think, and spelling is ew, but *sigh* i tried and it's from the heart. I just would like some constructive criticizm (i so spelled that wrong) on how to make this better... and please be kind... crying

I'm Sorry

If thoughts could be read,
would it be significant?
A most precious gift given...
to you i would write,
an eternal love story...
full of sincere verses,
from my broken heart.
Every line would be sealed
with a tender kiss.
That's a promise of truth.
Every word would be...
held dear and precious,
in my trembling hands...
outstretched and hoping,
that they will be recieved...
again in a warm embrace.
My fingers caress...
these memories i had...
thought were forgotten,
but it seems they were...
there all along.
I'll write our story,
yours and mine,
my beautiful love...
that i must let go

The effort of trying is what allows us to succeed!!! D<

I'm not good at criticism, but I had noticed a few things. ><;

The lay out of the poem is confusing.
You've added '...' in some places where it lost me, and so I had to reread that section again. DX In some cases you want sections to be reread twice, so you can give the reader a lingering thought, but I don't think you're trying to go for that affect.

I get that it's to add to the mood, but sometimes you don't need those things- the mood get's built up as the reading goes along. 3nodding

Also, tinker with the last line a bit. In my opinion it doesn't seem to fit too well, but do whatever you like dear. ^-^
