Hi there, Gaurav here for a review! Let's get started.
First of all, I must clearly mention that I am not a big fan of romance. I get bored when I read melodramatic romance. What really got my attention was the unusual title. [It may appear cliched to many, but it suits the poem perfectly.]
For a first time poet, this is a smashing debut. (When I posted my first story, I was universally panned, so don't get disheartened ) The poem has a great potential in my opinion. What you need is, some realism to it. The melodrama seems too much stretched to make an impact.
We talked, talked and talked again
It helped me to kindly go insane
The wording seems awkward here and a well settled momentum is lost. You need to correct this line.
The poem starts with rhythmically, but the rhyme gets distorted at places. I feel you have the ability to rectify those errors. I can help you with one line
You were my spring, best of my seasons
You left me alone, just give me a reason.
You can change this to:
You were my spring, best of my seasons
You left me alone, you gave no reasons
The flow looks much better when you 'reason' becomes 'reasons' here.
As BitterRosemary mentioned, the last stanza is really stiff. The melody gets lost with it. You need to rework on it. Having said that, I really love the pace of your poem. The opening stanza is really melodious and that's the reason, the expectations from you rise really high.
You gave me joy, to my pains, an end
You were truly the best, God will ever send
I really loved this line. It was artistic and beautiful, yet very realistic.
Like I mentioned in the beginning, all you need is more of realism. You need to have more lines like the one I pointed.
Overall, this is a great start and don't stop here. Try to improve and edit this poem and make it better. Alert me when you post your next poem. I would love to review it.
Good job! Keep writing!
