sew my eyes closed
to a world without you
its something that i could never see
its something that i could never dream

going on all alone
with tears in my eyes
hold you in the snow
delay our goodbyes

id pull my hair out for you
id scream until I'm black and blue
id bleed, because its really true
the only one for me is you

i could find a way without you
id lose my lungs, i could not breathe
i could find a way without you
my eyes would flood, i couldnt see

First of all, you shouldn't be bolding anything in your work. Nobody should. It's false emphasis, and doesn't let the reader determine what's important and what's not. It's not your job as the writer to force things like that. Let the work speak for itself, people will figure out what's worth the emphasis and what's not.

What's more, you've bolded the weakest stanza in this whole piece. Honestly, the whole thing is pretty overblown, and the images/phrases are all hackneyed. Also, you contradict yourself in the last stanza with "i could find a way without you."
