Broken

Small fragments are left over

From a whirlwind of pain

-

Forgotten

No one can remember

Who I am

Or that I exist at all

-

Broken

Just that one

The one I though

Would be mine forever

-

Forgotten

Left alone

To die alone

-

Broken

Hearted

No more tears left 

For I've cried them all out

In your absence

-

Forgotten

Sits alone

To be friendless and

Empty

-

Broken

Small fragments left over

From a whirl wind of pain

-

Forgotten 

No one can remember

Who I am

Or that I exist at all

I liked this poem, it was full of real emotion and pain, and i think that was what you were trying to do when you wrote it so well done!
I think it needs some work though, i liked how you made certain words in bold to make the stand out to the reader
I think it needs more though, more feeling in the voice i guess. it ddint shout out for my attenion so i think you need to improve that
i loved it anyway - keep up the good work! Very Happy

Very Happy

Good job! Very nice poem. I love the way you established the stanzas. But some spelling errors:

"From a whirl wind of pain"
Whirlwind is one word.

"Or that I exsist at all"
Exist has one s.

"The one I though"
Did you mean 'thought'?

"In your absense"
Unless there's an alternative spelling, absence is spelled with a c and an s.

Other than that, I was awed by your poem. Really good work! Smile

Other than the spelling/grammer issues that someone else already pointed out, I like it in general.

Quote:
No one can remember

Who I am

Or that I exsist at all


This seems a little simplistic, somehow, and doesn't conjure the same emotions and imagery that the rest of the poem did.

Quote:
Just that one

The one I though

Would be mine forever


I'd take out the "Just that one" and leave it as the last two lines... feels a little repetitive and if you wanted emphasize something, I'd suggest emphasizing the "Forever" part instead.

Your poem was stunning. I could almost feel the pain with you. It shows what really goes on inside a girls head. Keep writing and fix the spelling errors that the person above me suggested. But overall. Loved the repetion of broken by the way!

I love it, because, well, I can relate to it.
