Deep Within
December 12, 2009
To admire is to love with all your mind.
To love is to adore with every piece of your heart.
I will fight no more.
I'm done running; Chasing after something that won't still be there later.
I've fallen too deep, carefully entangled in mind games I should have outgrown.
This one thing I know from the very center of my being.
From strands of honey-colored hair down to the distinct tips of my toes.
The very edges of my bones
Love gives someone the power to break you.
I'm broken, shattered, convievably.
But I won't give up.
And I won't give in.
I will remain as promised, with my dignity solidly implanted at my side.

This piece has a steady rhythm to and a LOT of potential! The only thing I stumbled over while reading were the vague words you used like "something" or "Someone." When a poem is this short, every word has to be selected very carefully. I'd go back and reconstruct those two places, and it'll be soo much stronger!
Really nice work!
Really nice work!
