Poetry
You
By LilGryphMaster

More on love. I had a thing about starting a poem out beautifully, then turning it into a sad, depressing pile of melancholy trash at the end.

Your hair
Your eyes
Your smile
It's all so wonderful

Your heart
Your soul
Your mind
It's all just so thoughtful

Rainy days with you
Walks in the park
Just being alone with you
It was all so soothing

Your love
Your words
Your undying faith
It was all so perfect

Your absence
Your transparency
Your disappearance
It's all so unbearable

Days without you
Never laying eyes on you
Being apart from you
It's all just so terrible

Your love
Your words
Your faith
It's all so... gone

How true...

I like the gradual move from present to past and back to present again as you progress from happy to sad. Has a lovely rhythm.

It feels very emotional but I think it needs personality - more of a specific story. Love, hate, death, life - all those grand poetic subjects breed a complex array of emotions but in order to be properly captured, celebrated, explored, understood etc. in words they need to be part of some sort of structure. Leaving the sources of the emotions to the audience is a powerful but sometimes I feel like writers could try hinting a bit more. Just give me something from which I can unravel a unique story. 
 
I do love the rhythm of your poem, though. And the beautiful repetition!
