Question: I have another poem!. Can you give me some comments!?
Some people said they would look for more of my work!.!.!.so here it is!. This one is a bit like my last one!. I don't like it as much but i kind of like some of the lines!. Thx for reading!!!!

The Burning eyes of Lullabies

Tears sting
But tears don't help a thing
Turns burn
But tears won't make my life turn

The tears in my eyes
Sing me a Lullaby
Rest your head
Though you can't escape what they said

Burning from the inside out
You can't see what I'm talking about
Something eating away at me
Something you will never see

Put on a smile
It's sure to be fake for a while
Someday it might seem
That all the bad things were just a dream

The tears in my eyes
Sing me a Lullaby
Though while I'm sleeping
I'm still just weeping

I'll wipe away your tears
If you'll do the same in a couple years
I'll comfort you
As I hope that you'll comfort me too

So when I say I cried
Don't tell me I must have lied
Tell me that it's okay
That you'll be here for me everyday

I'm by your side now
I'll help if you tell me how
I wish fate was real sometimes
So I wouldn't be writing my sad little rhymes

The tears in my eyes
Sing me a Lullaby
They tell me hush and rest
Even knowing that it wasn't for the best

Sing me a song
So I can sing along
Tell me why you make my heart leap
So someday I might actually get to sleep

All comments welcome!. (I prefer the negative ones to be constructive criticism and not insults!.) THANKS IN ADVANCE!Www@QuestionHome@Com

that was AWESOME i loved u should be a poet some day i hope u love poetry i hope u do cuz u could make good booksWww@QuestionHome@Com

Not bad, but a little bit too strong of a rhyme scheme for my liking!. I prefer poems that don't rhyme so much because they seem more tasteful and professional!. Or try a more complex rhyme scheme!.!.!. your current one is AABB CCDD EEFF, etc!.
Why not ABCB DEFE or something!?
also, some of your rhymes are too cliche!. Words like me/see and you/too and smile/while make weak, overused rhymes!. Try for more original rhyme endings!. I did like the use of "eyes/lullaby" that was good!.
Keep at it, you've got some talent, but also some room to grow!.
Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
