I lay upon this frozen ground.
and slowly cry as my heart pounds.
A falling Star soon passes by, but cold and lifeless i still lie. Your words wont ever leave my head, im falling deeper, yet not dead. A puzzle your heart continues to be, pieces are scattered, some given to me.
Confusion circles all around, yet, still i lay upon the ground.

The author's comments:
This poem was written a while back, about someone who lied a lot to me. See it as someone whos kind of in a place where only those bad things are around them, but they hold on to life, and hope and wait, just lying there.

Yes but! The way you have it is different and not the same ol style the way most everyone else's free verses are like mine haha! Sometimes different is better! You kno what would be cool (just a suggestion) when you type your poem type it into a shape like a cross or circle it'll look cool! Not many ppl do that necause it's not easy! just a suggestion lol and your welcome!

Wow I really really like this!!!! 5 stars!!! The only thing I'd do (and this is being very nit-picky) is I'd like separate the lines each line ending with the words that are rhymed! But again that's me being nit-picky lol! Great job the words really flowed!
