Why do they call it falling?
When love begins you're soaring.
Then they promise fulfillment,
All the while your heart's pouring.
Love can take you to great heights,
You fall when they stop trying.
There's a bitter truth in that,
That's why they call it flying.
They will tell you that love's sweet,
When it's surely far from nice.
Why do they say you've been burnt,
When his heart turns cold as ice?
Like deserts you didn't need,
Bitter fruits you ate in haste.
Though you did the best you could,
Efforts only went to waste.
Sometimes they call it flying,
But never warn of the fall.
They give you jewels of hope,
But never give you it all.
Yes, it hurts when you're falling.
Yet I will tell you my friend,
Despite loves contradictions
I'd do it over again.

Ahhhhh...such a ironic, sour, and familiar feeling this gives to me. Poor Anthony doesn't seem to understand this piece. Well, it is written from the female view so I can understand. The fact that I understand this is the sad part, how old am again? Anyways...
This is a very great piece. You did great with it, and it's 199% undeserving of meager three stars. We're humans, and do not know what to do with out hearts, so this will keep happening to all of us. Just a pity men don't understand it like us. I'm not feminine, so I usually avoid this kind of piece. The rhythm of this piece, flow, and the comparisons had me picturing every second. The name "Sora" comes to mind when I read this. Sora means sky in Japanese, and is commonly a male name though I have a female character named Sora in one of my books.
I wish I could give you more than five praise point, but getting you up to four points for this poem will be nice for you. My net time is limited, please don't e-mail me when I make comments, kay? I might get in trouble, and I'm terrible at replying... Great work, keep writing!
The thing that I think of is the saying,"you must feel the pain to know the pleasure." I have felt the pain many times, but usually after the fun part had already been there. What I mean is , if you did not like the trip, you wouldn't be hurt at the end! The good really does outweigh the bad! Anthony
And thus I have...again, and again, and again... :) And I've learned something each time, and I've taken something with me each time as well. Take care all. Life is good!
