the last poem im ever writing about you

every smooth guitar pick,
Every balcony,
Every splintered bench,
Every hum of a colliding wave,
is you.

I feel that night with my fingertips.
You,
the soothing sense that made me believe.
The boy with the hummingbird voice and the gentle hands means,
Truth.

And I keep your love in the back pocket of my
Favorite
Blue
Jeans.
Someone, love,
Is there.

The girl back home will never understand,
you said. And this
is goodbye.
how
was the repetition in my fractured voice.

My tounge,
My teeth,
My lips:
Intertwined and said goodbye.
That sweet, sweet

whisper of
I LOVE YOU,
Will never be enough.

I reach into the back pocket of my
favorite
blue
jeans. And so,
I remember you.
For me.
For a reflection in a love.

I love the line "Hummingbird Voice" It's a great unique way to say it! And even more so, the back pocket. That line is just so cute! I enjoy full circle endings.

The only thing is that it comes up again too soon, maybe you want to add a little bit more to it. Maybe more descriptive words?

Fractured voice, it sounds so good.Its a great way to describe a voice, fractured.

ok. so. i love this whole poem. my favorite stanza had to be the one about your favorite blue jeans. i love the imagery and the line break you used. you have a really good sense of them and they are very effective how you use them. so good job. its wonderful as always. :)

i absolutely love the first stanza. especially the image of a splintered bench... my favorite, uh! the only suggestion i have is condensing the favorite blue jeans line. i understand why you're trying to slow down the line but the syllables seem so odd apart. so maybe:

favorite
blue jeans.


hmm. whatever you want girlie! this poem is adorable times ten!

FIVE GOLD STARS. :]]
