If she ran. she ran from you.
If she was broken apart; she wasn't broken from the start.
You took a knife and shoved it into her heart.

You expected her to die,
but blood ran from her eyes.
She wanted to show you how much she cries.

It was never your fault.
You were too perfect.
You thought she wasn't worth it.

She'd do anything for you,
at all costs.
Her life, love, her soul is all lost.
We're meant to be one
I know we are...
If I am the Sky
Then you are my star... ™

I think this is a really good start for a poem, but it needs a lot more to it. It's poetic, so I certainly think you have a good base for poetry. ^_^ I think you should keep in mind, though, that you want your reader to feel/think. How can your reader relate to the problem of your speaker? What is the problem? The only other thing I noticed is that your rhyming seemed slightly forced, so the poem wasn't as enjoyable as it could have been.

Perhaps with some edits it will be better. ^_^

Thanks Suz, I was just venting though. It was how I was feeling. :roll:

THE ALL CAPS TITLE IS REALLY ANNOYING. I DON'T LIKE TO FEEL LIKE I'M BEING YELLED AT.

I think it's just a weensy bit emo/cliche (as the two go hand-in-hand). While venting is buckets of fun, keep in mind that it's not always going to make good poetry--sometimes it's best to just keep it in your journal.
The rhyming was distracting...by all means, continue to rhyme. It's a good thing to learn to do well, and you just need practice. Lots of it. But be careful of forced rhyme. It makes your reader pine for free verse like nothing else.

As Suzanne said, you ought to make your reader feel. What about this story should interest us? Why should we care?

I really liked the rhythm and word choice.
But I think you should have added more. It feels... incomplete.
I'm not one to give long reviews, so I'll leave off here.
Beautiful poem!

    I'd rather write about this world than live in it
    and I'd rather play music all day
    and read and wander around bookstores
    and watch humans
    but not be one of them.

I really enjoyed it. I like reading poems when people vent, because I know that that is what's coming from them. Nothing else, just them. So, my opinion is, KEEP ON VENTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No where to run...baby let's hide. Take her in your arms on a chilling winter's night. Watch the stars twinkle and glisten. Know that you've found the one person that will listen. ~*(ME)*~
