Re: Emerald Eyes
This is touching, written from real-life I'm guessing. Like others have said, the flow is a little jolted in places, but other than that the composition is pretty great. One ...

Re: What is this feeling?

Re: Mending Heart
This has a progression of plot throughout the poem, which is rare among much of the poems in Dramatic Poetry. Starts out emo and ends optimistic. Congrats. Despite this, it ...

Re: #
The colons detract from the poem as a whole, I would suggest taking them out. "But i just don't think so !" That's not very good. You don't capitalize "I", ...

You have nice imagery and descriptions, I liked "airy globes", but it seems like you don't go very far with this idea. The ending is a proper ending, don't add ...
