When it's personal, like this one appears to be, I look to see if i can feel the emotion, passion, hurt...that they write about. You accomplished this. I also like that you didn't try to force a rhyme for rhymes sake. It's personal, it's real. You can't ask for much more. I like you kept a solid structure and good flow. I can't express this enough, poetry comes from inside. The more personal, the more I can see through your eyes the better for me. Don't be afraid to look outside the box and definately dont be afraid to cross lines. More importantly don't stop. Keep writing, there are no limits except your own. I like this, and now expect to see more.
thank you everyone for your comments. I wrote this poem out of frustration. It was about someone who left my life 8 months ago, and no matter how much I try to put him out of my mind, I have my moments where I just break down. This poem exemplifies the frustration and confusion that I feel over the situation and the closure i seek, but cannot find.
