Poetry
We Were Here
By tabarejos
20 January 2007
i wrote this poem for our yearbook, but i got into a terrible argument with one of the yearbook coordinators (who asked me to compose a poem, mothaF) and i guess this poem will never make it into the book.

this one sounds childish though. hope you like it. i appreciate reviews.

        we were here just yesterday
        a fleeting moment, a passing day
        a time of disintegrating years
        a generation, just right here
        sharing things we didn't have
        weaving dreams in hate and love
        knowing someday leave this place
        with laughter in each other's face
        faces we have learned to love
        faces of friends we didn't have
        remembering upon this day
        that we were here just yesterday.

        we were here, a troubled time
        running towards the blurry line
        undertanding our own faults
        truthful to what the future holds
        hopeful, but when tomorrow, at last
        everything is in the past
        remember, though, what we hold dear
        that for a moment, we were here.

        we were here not long ago
        a part of things we didn't know
        so much can not be undone
        so much time is almost gone
        tear-stained faces one by one
        we've lost count since we've begun
        the seconds turing into years
        bound in unrelenting fears
        that in this place we might not last
        now all these fears are in the past
        written by our oun understanding
        the future beyond, behold, it's shining
        we can hear its soft beckoning
        promising when all's done, one cold morning
        when all has to be remembered, and even
        when all has been forgotten
        and as all these lives slowly fade to black
        through this book we shall go back.

Call me old fashioned if you like, but I'd like to see some proper punctuation and capitalisation. All it does is add meaning to your work. Leaving it out doesn't add kudos. 
 
Liked the first three lines, they have much potential. 
 
Phil.
thanks

I'll keep that in mind the next time, since this isn't the first time someone reminds me about punctuation and caps. 
 
Thank you

I really liked this. Despite capitalization. Very good flow. Just keep the grammar rules in mind, ya?
