What is the right way

to go into the night

a blight on the sky

no sty in sight

Eye blind with cries of fries late night rides

Up above the flight takes away

The thoughts of last night

Don’t wanna be anywhere near

The thought of you

​

​

After that last night

I couldn’t go back

Spark the flames

Of my desire

To go back into

That fire

Go into the deep end

Don’t even know how to swim

​

Wake up

Breakfast in bed

Steam buns left in the oven

Fill them up

Replace what didn’t quite fit

​

​

Hoo boy

How I hate you

The way I want to

Be back with you

Makes me mad

And smile

At the same time

​

​

I know you haven’t

Thought of me like that

I’ll never be able to

Unless some aliens

Make you like be 51/49

It’s too much

To bear inside

​

​

It’s like a signal I keep sending

Receiving memories from the past

Press rewind deep down inside

It’s so good again

Until I open up

​

​

Visiting the place

That we used to be

Just wanna be small again

So I can never feel again

​

Im going to be blunt and tell you this is not good in a lot of ways. You rhyme very arbitrarily, and it tries to be almost a rap song, but it isnt, and a lot of the stanzas end very awkwardly. The first stanza stands out because you had a lot of rhymes with -ight, then " the thought of you" at the end sounds so clunky. This has a lot of telling how you feel, and it just has so much fat. For your next poem id really try to write two stanzas and focus purely on describing physical things such as objects, read it out to yourself to better hear how it will read. You seem to put effort into your poems, so i hope you will follow this advice. look forward to what you do next.
