The Goodbye Gift

Lying on the cool country grass,
I connect the many stars in the sky.
Hoping you join me, but you aren’t there.
You stopped listening to me,
Haven’t returned my calls,
You disconnected me and I don’t know why.
You were my rock, my knight in shining armor.
If I was lost in the dark, you always lit a light.
When I was scared,
You held me and told me that it was all right.
I miss your smile,
Your warmth,
Your laughter,
I even missed the arguments.
I guess I will never know why you left me.
But I realized that life goes on
And there’s plenty of more fish in the sea.
So you can go away and never come back!
But, the main reason that I wanted to call you,
Is that I wanted to tell you that
The girl you are with might have a disease.
How do I know you ask?
Well, let’s just say that was my goodbye gift to you.
Don't send sheep to kill a wolf.

Hmm...

This was good, but I think it could be better. What your piece lacks the most of is a set rhythm (or maybe I just can't find it. lol) and enough emotion to allow your readers to feel what YOU feel. I understand what the point of this is, but I didn't connect... if that makes any sense. You didn't express enough to make me feel the same way that you do. Try... adding some deeper imagery, I suppose, and really paint a picture of your heart. (or whoever the poem is referring to)

Other than that, it was nice. Just work on adding a little more emotion and you should be good to go. :wink:

Best wishes with your work!

It doesn't have a rhyme scheme because it was a free verse poem, Silly.

I didn't say rhyme scheme. I said rhythm... as in the beat/tempo? I'm not sure what the correct term is. I know that it's free verse, I just couldn't figure out how to read it.

Hi everyone, I decided to bring out this poem one more time to see if anybody else wanted to comment on it. I love this poem and I hope you do to. Please be honest, don't try to butter me up.
