Novice writer - struggling to improve.... These two poems are ones I'm really struggling with. I want to improve so here goes...


One More Hour

If you could give me an hour
I'd try to remember your smile
So that when it was dark and I was alone
My heart would be whole for a while


If you could give me an hour
I'd hold you, remember your touch
So when it was dark and I was alone
My soul wouldn't hurt quite as much


If you could give me an hour
I'd listen and hear your sweet voice
So that when it was dark and I was alone
My ears would hear and rejoice


If you could give me an hour
I would study your beautiful eyes
So that when it was dark and I was alone
Your smile would light up the skies


If you could give me an hour
I'd soak up each second together
So that when it was dark and I was alone
I'd pretend you were here forever



Worlds End


The muted smiles, the solemn eyes
Shifting in their chairs
No one quite knows what to say
Death caught us unawares.


A cruel miscalculation
Death came for you too soon
We thought we were invincible
But no one is immune


The cars outside keep driving
The birds are full of song
Why does the world seem to imply
Its trivial you are gone


No mention on the evening news
No notice on the wall
Does the world not recognise
You were ever here at all


You were not incidental
This was a tragedy
To the world you were just a person
But you were the world to me

Novice writer - struggling to improve.... Sorry I did not mean to dislike your comment I pressed the wrong button. I agree the last verse doesn't feel right so I'll have a play around. Thank you for taking be time to give some advice.
