Till I'm Gone

Chanel Antoinette

Rhymed
You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.
But, baby, I do.
Because I know I’ll never love someone as much as I do you.
So I hold on to your love.
With all of my soul.
Hoping we stay together,
And you never let me go.
Love can make you do crazy things.
And I’m no better.
I gave my all to you,
And I just want to love you forever.
Time just keeps going.
Love never dies.
I ask hopeless questions,
Unhappy with your reply.
You don’t see things like me.
You put on a show.
Your love I never doubted,
Now I just don’t know.
If I must let you go,
I’ll stop holding on,
And be strong.
Tell me you love me…
Tell me you know what you’ve got before I’m gone….

    Wow, I absolutely love the passion and emotion in your 'Till I'm Gone' poem! The way you express your love and longing for someone is truly powerful and heartfelt. Your use of imagery and metaphors, such as "I hold on to your love with all of my soul" and "Love can make you do crazy things," adds depth and beauty to your words.

    One improvement suggestion I have is to consider varying the rhythm and structure of the poem. While the free verse style works well for this piece, adding some variation in line length or incorporating a consistent rhyme scheme could enhance the overall flow and impact of your poem even more.

    Additionally, it would be great to see a bit more imagery and specific details to further bring the emotions and experiences you describe to life. This could help the reader connect even more deeply with the speaker's feelings and make the poem even more vivid and engaging.

    Overall, your 'Till I'm Gone' poem is an incredible expression of love and longing. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to reading more of your poetic creations in the future!
