"I Guess" [Just another break up poem.]

Just as the title says, another break up poem. Don't really know what else to say but if any questions are asked or any criticism is given that would be great.

I Guess
Falling head over heals,
My mind a conglomeration of spinning wheels,
Do you know how it feels,
Finally I let the darkness tuck me in,
When I am visited by sleep's closest kin,
Set in place by the wheels continuing to spin,
Throwing me into a race I cannot win,
Dropping me in a tunnel with no end,
Consumed in this mental whirlwind,
The end I cannot comprehend,
Gazing at the back of my eye lids,
Look deeper subconsciousness bids,
Awareness it rids,
Locked in this dream land,
Held captive by my imaginations hand,
Shielding my eyes from the pelleting sand,
Feeling a screaming chill,
Knowing relief is over the next hill,
Not knowing even my own will,
Lost, unknown, unsure,
I pray confusion is not impure,
The present does the future lure,
Looking for somewhere to confide,
But in this lovely nightmare there is nowhere to hide,
By it's rules must I abide,
Sanity has nothing to do with me,
Thoughts flying so fast blurring what I see,
Still no where to flee,
Tossing and turning,
Confused yet yearning,
I catch a glimpse of this desire,
I graze the garmets but the want is higher,
Makes my surroundings look even more like a mire,
Finally on an even plain,
Falling head over heels for the desire to find it is only a stain,
Falling head over heels into a pit of pain,
The one thing believed infallible,
Turned out to be a joke so cruel,
At least it was just a dream though, right,
Better to fall head over heals in a dream at night,
Than in reality,
They tell me, as the dream becomes a haunting memory.

Spell check.
Look for homonyms.
Prune.
Good thoughts.
I share them. (Or have)

Ok i'll split this into two posts:

First the bitchy SPaG post:

Falling head over heels

(heals is as in a wound, heels are your feet)

Do you know how it feels? <-- mean, but i'm being thorough!!

Dropping me into a tunnel with no end,

That doesn't matter so much.... it's very very common in 2000 English: it just irritates me!!

Gazing at the back of my eyelids, (one word)

By its rules must I abide,

Unlike normal possesion if 'it' has something there is no apostrophe. "it's" is a contraction of it is.

Thoughts flying so fast: blurring what I see,
Still nowhere to flee,
(one word)

I graze the garmets but the want is higher,


This is just a query not a criticism - what's a garmet??

And then you've made a couple of the same errors (heals --> heels) again

I like this image: i'm sure i've heard it before, but it's a nice one all the same

Ummm death??!! That's just what i thought of first!

Interesting image.... i reckon there's probably a better word than pelleting though!

Ironic

I think you're trying too hard to rhyme here... It doesn't sound normal to me

Some nice imagery: but avoid coming out with some weird turns of phrase because you're conforming to a rhyme scheme!!

Nice description of a nightmare though!

Thanks for the spelling tips. I don't have spell check on my computer and I guess it didn't pick up those errors, except for garmets. Maybe I spelled it wrong but I thought garmets were clothes or something.

A dream.

It wasn't that I was trying hard to rhyme that is what I meant. The thing that I was trying to get that looked so good while I was in pursuit turned out to be a stain. Or not there at all however you would like to look at it. A stain could possibly be a small memory "stained" into your mind I guess you could say.

Despite what it seems it is not about a dream. It is really about trying your hardest to get something in life that looks good and once you get there it is not what you had first believed. I compared it to a dream because it seems that sometimes you see something as one thing in a dream and then once you get closer it changes...or at least that is what happens in allot of my dreams.


Oh yeah, I just did a search. I spelled the word wrong. I ment garments I didn't put the 'n' in there.
