Ugh

I let you go.

I know. 

And I’m sorry.

But you told me to follow my heart for all these months.

I wanted to love you the way you loved me, 

But my heart couldn’t let that be.

Now that I see what I have lost,

I realize what my choice will cost.

I won’t take my decision back,

Because I’m afraid that we will crack.

I want things to be how they were,

But I realize that’s not the cure.

I know that we are meant to be,

But right now I want to flee.

I can’t let myself fall in to deep,

Or my entire life will fall to sleep.

Right now is when I learn to deal,

And realizes what around is real.

I love you, and I swear its true,

Even if it makes you blue.

I want us to work in the end,

And I know right now you don’t want me as a friend.

I want you, but I’ll get what I can take,

I never meant for your heart to break.

One day I hope you can see what I see, 

And we can both live happily. 

Cause I care no matter how bad I feel.

Thats how I know that this is all real.

But for now I want us to take it slow.

Cause this is all really hard.... ya know?

Pros: This poem seems to be your heart speaking. I like poems like that. And I love the....unprofessional feel to it. How you say "ya know" and whatnot. It makes it easier to relate to. After all, none of us talk all poetic like most poems are. I like the story it tells and the emotion behind the poem is really conveyed.

Cons: None, except can I offer a word of advice? I might be wrong, but I get this feeling that you might have....forced a couple of the lines to rhyme, if that makes sense. I used to do it all the time. I'd have an idea, and try to make the lines fit a certain rhyme scheme. Sometimes, though, the lines won't fit. And we shouldn't force them. Let the poetry write itself. We're just its vessel of communication.

Overall: I really like this poem, especially the first three lines and the last two. In my opinion, they sum it all up. Love it :)

I love this poem. Its simple and honest, but the candid nature of your
words really get to the heart of the matter in all sincerity.

Precious!
