Beauty
I know nothing of love,
Beauty, though, I know.
I see beauty in the night,
I see beauty in the lonely,
I see beauty in the broken,
I see beauty in the dead.
I like to see beauty wasted,
Hold on to it with all the power I
Got and experience it before it fades.
Beauty is a drug, a stripper, a skyline at
Night, or even old Poe dying all alone.
Beauty is a wish for something better.
Beauty is a gift we don't notice until after.

Got and experience it before it fades.

Gonzo you have a way with words. The repetition makes it like a song, the hard images light up when you juxtapose them with beauty. Suggest edit the last two lines and pare old poe down too!

Thank you very much for your complements and for reading and reviewing. But to be honest, I'm going to leave it how it is. Thank you though, criticism is always welcomed.

This may be my favorite piece of yours so far. vivid and candid and I agree that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder, sometimes a facade. Great job as always man.

This one’s not bad however there are a few issues I have with this one like the line where you say “ Beauty, though, I know”
I think you should change it to “ But beauty though I know” also lower case the word got in the line “ I Got and experience it before it fades” and also same problem with the line “ a skyline at Night” just lowercase Night and it will look better but aside from all that I think it’s ok

oh ok understandable however as far as the young writer thing I can somewhat top that since I started writing at 10 but it wasn’t cause of anything similar I was going through depression and shit so back when I was 14 years old I joined this site
