I have hung you from the gold chain around my neck,
and each night I pray to find you at my door,
maybe this world is just a little too big, or just too crowded,
but then again I used to think it was way too small.

I thought I lost this that day, in the broken bottles and dirt,
I couldn't find you from the tears in my eyes,
I was so thankful when I pulled you from that shining heart,
but I lost part of my hope that day, in that shining mess.

Truly, I can not help but dream of one days and maybes,
and wish upon stardust that I flick out the windows of cars,
letting it touch the hearts of others, putting it into lives,
never seeing the tears that it gives them when it hits their eyes.

:iconopheliawhispers:
Alrighty.. I love how this poem goes from loss and sorrow to hope. I normally do not like it when only two lines in the whole poem rhyme, but it did seem to fit, making the lines:

"Letting it touch the hearts of others, putting it into lives,
Never seeing the tears that it gives them when it hits their eyes"

Have an even stronger impact on the reader. I do also like the transition in the second stanza from loss, setting it up for gained hope. The last stanza gets me every time I read it:

"Truly, I can not help but dream of one days and maybes,
and wish upon the stardust that I flick out the windows of cars,
Letting it touch the heart of others, putting it into lives,
Never seeing the tears that it gives them when it hits their eyes."

The only thing I think that needs changing is the punctuation.

If you put a comma at the end of a line, then the next line should startout with a lower case word... if you end the sentence with a period, then youmake the next line start with an uppercase. I know you already know this... and I still writelike you have at times when I fel it is appropriate, but most of the time I try to follow the rules of punctuation. I believe it guides the reader into reading the poem EXACTLY as you have written it.

I love the first line, and I'm not so sure why.
