My Love (revised edition)
By mad_dave
27 November 2006
my first piece of work, probably not poetry, so please go easy. i wrote this after a night out with a friend i'm love with, but she does'nt love me, ouch!!

(this is a revised edition of my poem, with a couple of small changes, i'd like to say thanks again for the comments posted below, i look forward to reading some of your
work and getting started on my next piece, thank you all.)


Here i stand in the darkness
On the edge of a despair
Consumed with pain and sorrow
Alone with no hope

Why has my life become this way
With no-one to stand by me
To breathe life into my heart
And protect me from harm

Where is my saviour

Where are you my love.

Good first effort. Very painful and angsty. 
 
Watch the spelling! I think you mean "saviour" rather than "savour". 
 
There are more fish in the sea mate - chin up!

Nice poem. I would suggest that you replace the word "precipice" because it makes the flow slightly choppy. Other than that, this was good effort and keep on trying! :)
thanks

thanks talisker and peeano1 for your comments, i'll keep my eye on the spelling!! and i was thinking of changing "precipice" for "despair"  
 
Here i stand in the darkness, 
On the edge of despair, 
Consumed with pain and sorrow, 
 
seems to flow a little better, thanks again!!

Yep, I prefer despair too. Good first effort Dave. As Oli says: very painful and angsty. 
 
All the best, 
 
Phil.

Yep, thought this was pretty good with lots of feeling behind it. 
 
As mentioned above, there are plenty more fish in the sea ( or so I keep telling myself! ;)
 
Best wishes, 
 
Esra

Are you signing Esra because it's arse backwards? Just curious?

haha, cheeky! 
 
No no, it's actually my name. Its pronounced more like Isra really, but for some reason was spelled Esra - my parents must not have liked me much as a baby, hehe. 
 
Clever you for noticing though! 
 
Sorry mad_dave, as I mentioned before, I thought this was good!

Interesting first post. One small point, I'd lose the exclamation marks if I were you...but I liked this.
