(just experimenting with structure here, so please look at it objectively :D )

Cut me with your silence!


...



Sharper than any word could be polished to.

You used to speak with me a lot; now never.

I see you occasionally in the hallways of our school, passing glances.

That -
Bore-
In-
To-
Me-

Why?

Just a look, with no malice or hate... Just a look.

I'd give anything for an insult, something. Anything...
Say something to me.

'ello

I haven't ever seen a poem set up like this, or anything really like this actually so good job for being unique

As for the actual poem it was alright I think. Yeah its about a sad lonely person who wants attention from a certain someone but this leaves me craving more information about the situation. if you polished it up a bit more then it would really be a good poem!

Hello there! I love new ideas, so let's see how yours turns out, eh?

Cut me with your silence! I like it. It's abrupt and clear figuratively.

Sharper than any word could be polished to. This to seems like it's hanging out a bit to me, like it's not completely necessary.

You used to speak with me a lot; now never. I've got a feeling you could say this better. Just a thought.

Very intriguing. I think the breaks worked out nicely, accenting each word. And I can see what you're saying. It's like a comment on a very human reaction. Let's just say I'm feeling it, my friend.

Well done!

Very well done, I love the way you're showing that being ignored by the person you love can hurt more than having them insult you.
Please write more
I'm not brave, my life simply has no value.
I give up that which has no value for those I love.
That is not brave.
