Poetry
Never Fading
By Cameron
01 April 2005
Lyrics. About my girlfriend.

Distracted by my thoughts,
Constantly turning to you,
Never fading,
My heart is true,

I love you always,
Like the sun must rise,
Holding you close,
I could fly to the skies,

Not being with you,
I feel heavy with pain,
Too far away,
Tears like rain,

Distracted by my thoughts,
Constantly turning to you,
Never fading,
My heart is true,

Sweet. Have you put this to music yet? I was trying to write a song earlier this evening. I got the chords and tune but the only lyric I could come up with was 
 
"I want to go with Doctor Who. 
Spin into infinity 
Crash a moon or two" 
 
Sad or what?

It is a true-toned poem without trying too hard to get the readers' attention, and I can see it working nicely as lyrics since songs don't necessarily have to be obscurely deep to be appealing. 
 
There a couple things I thought I would recommend though. The first is simple punctuation. It would make more sense to either use more indicative pauses with periods, semicolons, hyphens, and whatnot to make it punctuated as a poem, or to take out all punctuation completely to fit a song. 
 
The other thing I thought to mention was keeping the amount of syllables in each line consistent per verse. For example, each first line have the same amount, all the second lines have equal amounts, etc. This puts it into a rhythm and prevents choppiness. 
 
Other than that it's innocent and communicates infatuation well.
