Never

I actually cried when I wrote this. My grandmother just recently died, and i never got a chance to say goodbye. (she lived in Florida) This poem means a lot to me.

I never got a chance to say goodbye

I never got a chance to see your smiling face

I never got a last chance to hear you scold me

I never got a last chance to say I love you

I never got a last chance to hear you say I love you too

I missed your last birthday

I’ve missed so much

Now I’ll never get a chance again

I’ll never see you again

I’ll never say I love you again

I’ll never hear your ridiculous stories

I’ll never look forward to seeing you

I’ll always have these memories

I’ll cherish every single memory I have

What a sweet poem, I am sure that she heard you. Very well written. The only thing I would suggest is to use another color than blue, it takes away from your meaning. Good job..

I thought this was pretty good, but work on your flow, I don't think it's bad at all, but I don't know, "I never got a last chance to see your smiling face", it doesn't roll off my tongue that much, I guess that's my only real complaint.

Otherwise you've managed to tell the tale of a lost love that you don't want, but feel you have to let go. You're wistfully mourning the good times, while realizing that they are over and it's time to move on. Overall it was pretty good, I would just try to assimilate some of the words to produce a more even flow (Pearl Jam reference not intended).

I agree with the previous reviewer in that I think you could write more and better work. I'm glad that you were able to find an outlet or expression of what you were feeling or thinking through writing.

i could categorize this as a very high-school-paper-ish poem but it doesn't mean that it's not good. in fact, it's gorgeous!

the simplicity speaks utter entangled emotions.

very good and keep up the good work!

i believe that you could write more and better work than this. you need a challenge.

Beautiful. I feel your pain. Loss is so hard. Your writing will get you through.

Best,
