Simply Gone.

Thunder
Rings through my ears

Lightning
Flashes across the room

Terror
Runs through my body

Your clothes lie beside my bed
Waiting for you to reclaim them

And the smell of them
Reminds me that I am alone.

I like the last two stanzas alot. The first three with references to thunder and lightning feel borderline cliche to me. I think you could achieve the same effect using more of the imagery similar to the last two stanzas.

The end of the poem is definitely the strong part of it. 'Terror runs through my body' is a bit overused. Perhaps you could go and revise a little of the first part of the poem, inciting some of the very strong figurative language of the end. I am very impressed with you as a young poet :)

Wow, I LOVE this... especially the one word lines. Very powerful.

Maybe I'm in awe of you because I've had these two lines written for about five years and can't figure out where to go with them..

Lightning dances across the sky
With thunder as its rhythm

So that's it! When I read yours I was gleeful that someone reached inside my head, pulled out the idea and put it to good use.

Thanks for sharing this. It's great!

Such emotion from one so young.The pain of love/life seems to have touched you. Great write, its simple and yet quite profound.
