I really really do like this. It does touch many people to read it...this seems to be something that happens to most everyone during at some point in their lives.
But...although dragging out the word "b r o k e n" adds emphasis...it's not very professional. It's cute for posting parts of the poem in your profile or something to add dramatic affect...but if you plan on doing anything else with it I would leave it as normal text.
Please tell me this was a joke. It could hardly pass off as poetry (more like terrible prose with even worse linebreaks).
Don't be duped: just because people can relate to this doesn't make it poetry, nor does it make it good. You need to seriously review the basic mechanics of poetry if you're ever going to be more than Every Poet.
All the best,
Brad

The word b r o k e n written like that was clever,
The fact that you told us you were "lying" meant that we could picture all of these lovely images and then realise you didn't actually have them and so they were kinda snatched from reader.
Loved it, the dipped in chocolate thing made me start to crave what I really can't have not fair.
Anyway, keep up the good work adnd... grrr... don't rise to brads stooopid comment.
lotsa love,
