My heart is searching throughout the world
And looking all around
The one thing that i'm trying to find is
The perfect line to make you mine

I see you sitting across the hall
Your beauty calls to me
I walk across, trying to think of
The perfect line to make you mine

I finally reach you amoung your friends
Sitting in a crowd
And then I try what I thought was
The perfect line to make you mine

Your laughter pierces through my skull
Causing my distress
I never realised that there was
No perfect line to make you mine

It doesn't mean the end to me
I still have other hopes
Yet all i want from this life is
A perfect line to make you mine

The pressure's mounting up on me
I can't fail again
I'm writing, wondering if there is
A perfect line to end my time

This was inspired by a song, i have no idea what song or who wrote it, but this line in the lyrics caught my attention. Not actually an experiance, more a fear...

The repetition of the last line in each stanza is an excellent tool. It brings a freshness to the poem that might otherwise be lacking. Structure is key in holding the reader's attention, and the structure you use is very good at that. I am also impressed that, despite the lack of rymes, you have kept the meter consistent between the stanzas. Not that rhyming makes meter easier; indeed, it makes it harder. But when abandoning rhyme, poets too often also abandon consistent meter. You don't, and your poem is stronger for it.

The only line that really didn't fit in my mind was "Ripping out my soul." Perhaps it is only because of its abuse in such areas, but the word "soul" has long since sunk into clichédom in melodrama. The line before it could stand some similar revising, though it is not as glaring.

I like this poem. It is simple, and tells a story with an interesting narrative. Good job.

Sorry for the delay, but this critique has been brought to you by ~WeCritique
