Love You To Death
I remember a time when all was bright
when no one said a word someone else didn't like
the point of living was not to get ahead
but to be in love, have friends, and be accepted
i swear there was a time when i did not lie
i never said a word someone else didn't like
my life had a rythym, beating and wild
i'd yet to meet love, i was still alive
to love is to die
to love is to die
it's always at night that i think of the light
wanting, missing, holding you tight
i swear it's the only time i've felt alive
you're gone...
to love is to die
to love is to die
i want to be alive
to love is to die
bring me to life
as i die, as i die
i remember a time when all was bright
i looked to the sky on a beautiful night
admiring the moon, i wished for love
wishes never come through, they're never enough
but this time i died of love
to love is to die

I liked...
- how this told a story rather than simply explaining a concept like most poems do. It made this seem much deeper.
- the rhyming felt very natural, not forced.
I didn't like...
- how this really was just telling a story. There wasn't much emotion is it, the speaker didn't seem to have many feelings. I wanna feel her pain, her sorrow, that would make this much more personal or relatable.
- I also wish you would've explained more on how love is death. Again, I'm wondering, is it the feeling or what?
Overall... Nice poem with a good flow, but I'd like to get to know the speaker more- why they say what they say.
