criticism : i don't think i want to change it, but criticize as you wish. rating : PG13.
i want you to reach for me when the clock strikes an unbearable , innumerable amount . i want you to kiss me when the passion of life overcomes you . i want to be there for anything you'll ever need.
i want you to realize that silence thickens , and drowns me . i wish you could notice my down-ridden tendencies . can't you tell that your being suffocates me?
i wanna be the kind of girl you can see yourself with. i wanna be the perfect girl that you want to take everywhere. i want to be that girl that you're proud to have on your arm.
could i?… you try to tell me , but literally , your tongue feels severed .

It has very strong feeling to it. You love him, but you dont think that he would ever like you for just exactly who you are. Or perhaps he is just afraid to be with you due to his self image. There is a very strong story behind this, but one can only assume what exactly that story is. Bits and peices bleed through, leaving the larger picture mainly obscured. I like how you were very minimalistic in wording this poem, and truly letting it speak for itself as a whole, instead of any one part standing out and stealing away attention. It has a simialar flow to your other works, and while short, (not a good or bad thing) It is very well balanced. I often have trouble balancing poems of mine more than half that length. The ending sums up the poem quite well, and while I cant pretend to perfectly understand every thought behind it, it still feels quite powerful.
