My heart

My heart

A Poem by Cleo
"

Uhm Inspired by an ex boyfriend. ;o

"

My heart

Is as hollow

As the Grand Canyon

The death that forsakes

Us all

The pit of depression

Seeps threw what

Was once shallow,

It grows into an

Exit with no way

Of getting out

 

I wait still,

Motionless,

Ready for

My demise

Than I see

A light upon

The clouds,

And there you are

 

Did I die

In that hollow

Pit where I

Was alone

Or was that the,

Beginning of life

Nice imagery of the Grand Canyon. Kind of a commentary on the life-cycle. Leaves you questioning and re-reading it. Great art. Also, some Christ like references (even if it was for an ex). Write on!

The ending is sadly sweet, I love this type of poem and (although I can't write them) I think this is one of the best I have read. Well done, this is something to be proud of.

this is really dark, but it kinda shows a little bit of hope at the end. it has a really nice flow and its very relatable. the only thing is that u should be more consistent with your punctuation. other than that, this really good :]

On that note, I loved it, good and deep. Just like it should be and there's nothing to say that hasnt already been said. Thanx for sharing and welcome.

You made a mistake that is extremely common among young writers: Switching back and forth from having punctuation and not having punctuation. The few commas are too sporadic to suit your poem. I would either punctuate the whole thing, or get rid of what you did put in (if I were you, I would do the latter).

Living in AZ, I appreciated your reference to the Grand Canyon. It's strange, looking down into it. It really is a vast void - perfect allusion for this poem.
//Than I see// This should be "then." "Than" is usually used for comparisons, whereas "then" is for time.
Overall, good job. And welcome to the Writers Cafe. I hope you enjoy yourself here.
