I've written the lyrics for this song and I can't come up with anymore lines and I wanted to see if anyone thought it was fine the way it is or if it should be continued. Thanks.

Poem

I can see that you're dreaming, I'm doing just the same
You're scribbling down a poem; I keep mine inside my head
I can see how you're feeling so would you mind if I would stay?
I'll call us a taxi then maybe we could find a word to say

I'm sorry the pastry is a little sweet, though I always get used to it
The selection of magazines is great; here this one is my favorite
I can see you eat kind of slow; yeah I also never have a reason to go
Don't you just love how this place never gets too full? The noise is always low

You're looking very pretty with the residue of a cupcake resting on your nose
Laughing silently for the first time since I met you five minutes ago

Nope, I think it's long enough - you could roll this out as a ballad around the three minute mark.

That said, I'm struggling with the residue of the cupcake, and I think when you try putting it to music you'll find it needs changing.

Best,

Hey i'm just starting to write some songs but I think a song should be what you want it to be and doesn't have to follow a rule.

I like the song though i agree with Alan Green

Hey Poetic,

This has a real sweet feel to it. I agree with the comment about the cupcake residue though. I was thinking maybe you could use powdered sugar instead.
Instead of:
You're looking very pretty with the residue of a cupcake resting on your nose
You could try:
You're looking very pretty with a little powdered sugar on your nose

Just a thought.
