Oh it can't hurt to be a little dark...

So I actually had a lot of fun writing that last poem, even if it was a little dark and a little depressing. At least it had emotion, you know? And I spent probably a good half-hour writing it. And, to top it all off, my friend loved it. So I decided to write another one and spent just as much time if not more writing it. I thought it turned out pretty well. I tried a different rhyming scheme, and, surprisingly, it worked. Enjoy this...I decided to to title it "No End to Time"
____________________________________

So I was happy for a time,
Before the pain and warning signs.
Every day trying to find,
a way to travel back in time.

I need a way to stop the clock,
Reverse a tick, take back a tock.
I need some way to pick the lock,
Open the past so we can talk.

And all the times I keep trying,
To go back and stop your crying,
I keep losing, I keep sighing,
Every time I keep on dying.

I lost myself so long ago,
So long ago I just don’t know,
If I can stop the raging flow,
Stop the river before you go.

Mend this bleeding heart that’s broken,
Please take my thanks as your token,
Don’t forget the words we’ve spoken.
Either way, I’m left heartbroken.

I can’t go back and make it fit.
Stuck behind these walls, I sit,
Now I finally realize it,
There’s no end to this dark pit.

your poem was good, and interesting? but can i ask why, your friend wanted you to write a dark poem? i feel like i'm not your friend anymore because of that other person...and your changing into the person she wants you to be...kind of..maybe not but thats just how it seems...but hey i guess whatever floats your boat..if you happy then good. you deserve to be...

I love your work, Aaron, and I know how real your struggles are. I know I haven't been the greatest person to talk to, but hopefully that can change sometime in the present. I understand the pain you feel, to get crashed against the waves of your own hormones. When you find the answer, please let us know, k?
Thanks,
Lehman.
