blonde

------------------------------------------------------------

i walk into your room, and i notice a few things.
it's a smaller room in a bigger house, and when i'm there
it seems in the air there's a promise and it clings.
and leaning on the wall there's a girl whose tall
she's blonde and bold and oh so cold
and i feel my heart hold
and my willpower fold
and in that moment i know
for this girl i'd do anything
because when i see her my heart sings.

------------------------------------------------------------

i think the last three lines are weak. they're sort of generic. i would like help replacing or improving them. thank you.

another suggestion:

the line: and oh so cold

usually, that's not a good thing. is it there only for the rhyme?

no. that's what the girl is like, by her own admission.

revised version:

i walk into your room, and i notice a few things.
it's a smaller room in a bigger house, and when i'm there
it seems in the air there's a promise and it clings.
and leaning on the wall there's a girl whose tall
she's blonde and bold and oh so cold
and i feel my heart hold
and my willpower fold
i'm trying not to let it show because i've only got one chance to blow.
and if i have any say then i won't throw it away.

well. you understand how

[and leaning on the wall there's a girl whose 5'2"]

doesn't work, don't you?

emily, do not be fooled by this man. he is a liar.

this poem is clearly about kari collins. i am sorry to break it to you, but it is.
